Year after Ajit Pawar inaugurates Rs 7-cr PCMC project, cost jumps to Rs 20 cr

Even as Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar performed “bhoomipujans” of eight PCMC projects on Sunday, a project that he inaugurated a year ago has run into a controversy. The cost of the project — a mural of Sant Dnyaneshwar and Sant  Namdev at Wadmukhwadi — has jumped three times, with the ruling NCP, using its majority, managing to get the hike approved at the recent general body meeting of the corporation.
