While addressing a rally in Sangli district, in western Maharashtra, Union minister Nitin Gadkari expressed his frustration over the delay in the completion of an irrigation project in the district with some strong words.

Gadkari, on Sunday, said, “The economic viability of the Tembhu lift-irrigation scheme was so difficulT that once I had shared my views with a person over it. I had said that even a transgender would bear children but this irrigation scheme will never be completed.”

The Tembhu lift-irrigation project was administratively approved, in 1996, for Rs 1,416.59 crore. It envisages lifting of 22.12 TMC water from the Krishna river to irrigate 80,472 hectares of land in Satara, Sangli and Solapur districts.
