NCP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday questioned Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Ajit Pawar asked the Chief Minister why the ruling party in the state is not fulfilling its election promise to make Maharashtra toll-free. In a tweet, Pawar wrote, "What happened to the promise of making Maharashtra toll free? When the contract to charge toll on the expressway expired in August 2019, the CMOs are ready to charge the toll again by inviting tenders. Why party is not fulfilling their election promise? "

Vivek Valenkar, head of the 'Sajag Nagrik Manch', said, "It is beyond imagination. The Fadnavis government came to power by repeatedly promising to abolish the toll system to the people of Maharashtra. Reacting to the allegations, BJP spokesperson Madhav Bhandari said: "As per our promise, we have closed more than 50 toll booths... For some of them, the matter is sub-judice. "
