Raju Shetti Questions Fadnavis on Shaktipith Highway Route, Suggests Karnataka Shift
Kolhapur: Former Member of Parliament Raju Shetti has raised concerns about the proposed Shaktipith Highway, questioning whether Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is planning to reroute the project through Karnataka. Shetti’s remarks follow conflicting statements from Fadnavis, who reportedly told farmers that the highway would bypass the Kolhapur, Sangli, and Solapur districts, but later indicated that it would pass through Chandgad.
“Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told farmers that Kolhapur, Sangli, and Solapur would be excluded from the Shaktipith Highway. But then he said the highway would go through Chandgad. So, is the Chief Minister planning to take the Shaktipith Highway through Karnataka?” Shetti questioned.
Shetti made these statements at the inauguration of the Satej Krishi Exhibition in Kalamba earlier today, where he addressed the media. The uncertainty surrounding the highway’s route continues to fuel anxiety among farmers in the region.
