CM Fadnavis commended the BJP for providing opportunities to committed party workers and praised Mohol’s efforts during the challenging times of the Covid-19 crisis. 'Only the one who stands firm during adversity is a genuine leader,' Fadnavis said, emphasizing Mohol’s calm and persistent demeanor throughout the pandemic.
The newly inaugurated 24/7 Public Outreach Office, situated on JM Road in Pune, is a rarity in the country. Fadnavis noted that very few MPs have such a public outreach office that is open all day, every day. He also mentioned Mohol’s unanimous selection to succeed the late Girish Bapat and his close working relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Mohol, who was entrusted with a significant portfolio after becoming an MP, has been working closely with the central leadership. 'Amit Shah personally praised Mohol as a disciplined and studious leader with a bright future,' Fadnavis added.
Fadnavis also announced the inclusion of 12 forts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from Maharashtra in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. 'These forts reflect exceptional architectural style and rich Maratha history. Now, they will gain global academic and tourism attention,' he said. He provided updates on key infrastructure projects, including the 'missing link' on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway, which will reduce travel time by 30 minutes and feature a 9-km tunnel—the longest in India—and the tallest cable-stayed bridge in the country. The second international airport for Pune is also progressing well, while the Navi Mumbai airport is nearing completion.
Union Minister Murlidhar Mohol thanked citizens and party leaders for their support. Presenting his one-year report, he said, 'The people of Pune gave me an opportunity, and I have tried to deliver honestly.' Speaking about the pandemic, Mohol shared that he remained connected with the public through social media for 28 months. His book 'Pratham Manus' captures both positive and difficult moments from that period. 'Rambhau Mhalgi once set an example by presenting a work report to the people, and I’ve followed the same tradition,' he added.
Mohol affirmed that the new public office would serve as a 'one-stop solution' to help citizens access various government schemes. He recounted his first meeting with PM Modi after taking oath, where the Prime Minister asked detailed questions about their ministries’ responsibilities and was well aware of recent incidents like the Delhi airport roof collapse. 'This reflects the intense vigilance and commitment of the central leadership,' Mohol said. He affirmed his dedication to fulfilling the responsibilities of the Cooperation Ministry under the guidance of Home Minister Amit Shah.
