Politicisation of language more important than water supply!

>> Click here to view original post

Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink! Sums up Bombay I guess. The city will be flooded because of bad infrastructure more than heavy rains, but drinking water? Where is that?

And looks like the corporators have more pressing issues to raise than tackle the water problem. And that is the ever important Marathi language!

Anyway things move at a snail's pace in the BMC. The special standing committee meeting was disrupted just because the presentation was in English and not in Marathi. Now the presentation will be made in Marathi, it will be discussed and then things will hopefully move. Though what's the guarantee for that? Your guess as good as mine.

What shocked me more was Congress and NCP were first to object to the use of English. So much for being secular parties!

Can you imagine? The language in which the issues will be addressed gets precedence...That's politics for us...

quack quack quack......
quite right dhaval.
Why they don't make the speech in hindi instead that will make the things easier.
But I think the presentation should be in marathi only ha...... (pun intended in last line).
