This presentation was made to the Pune District guardian minister, Ajit Pawar on Feb 13th at the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce by Parisar representative, Ranjit Gadgil.
The Minister did not receive it favorably and refused to promise that the CMD would not be changed. True to that 6 months later the CMD has been transferred and no new person has been appointed. Also the promised 650 bus purchase has been mired in controversy and no new buses have been added to the fleet.
