What is the population of pune today?
Its 50 lakhs. Yet I don’t see the Victoria Terminus of Pune being built, which allowed Bombay to become what it is today – a global financial and business center. Infact, I’m pretty sure the last major construction project in the city of Pune was the Shanwar Wada, a fortresss built by the peshwas somewhere during the 17th century if I’m not mistaken. Remember Chandrababu Naidu? He’s the only CM who dared to focus on urban development. Look what happened to him. The rural voters took him down. The only way our cities are going to develop according to international standards is to create city-states out of them.
