My feedback/response

RT:  I would like to clarify that I am not against toll. But I need to know where the money is going and who is benefitting from it — some minister or the contractor?  

WS: I am sure you must have these details for the times when your were in the Shiv Sena. Or by any chance it is one of the source of your Election Fund also which is not reaching to you now?

RT: The infrastructure in our state is very poor, and it made me wonder why we were paying toll, which is nothing but election fund for those in power.

WS: and exactly how many years and what situations made you wonder? 

RT:  All I want the government to do is to show me where the money collected is going. 

WS: Well in that case all I want the MNS to do is to show me which part of the Toll Business is Marathi Business! and also the finances of Matoshree Realtors

RT: MEPL stands for Mumbai Entry Point Ltd. It sounds like a government agency, but it is a private firm that has been awarded toll collection contracts in Mumbai and several other parts of the state. How did the government allow a firm with such a misleading name to bag the contracts?

WS: MNS stands for Maharashtra Navnirman Sena - It sounds like an organsiation really and genuinely interested in the develpment of entire Maharashtra but it has its own agenda, which is quiet evident, then how does it claim in its name Navnirman? I say misleading isnt it?

RT: We are not under the British Raj. People are not supposed to blindly follow whatever the government says. 

WS: oh ho! we are not under Thackeray Raj either, so RT go get your act together, coz its the same people who rallied behind Anna Hazare and are now are thinking big time about continuing to rally round him. toh tum kya cheez ho!

RT: Ministers want to make easy money and expect people to pay up. In such circumstances, there is bound to be a law and order issue,

WS: Oh! so is MNS, Matoshree Realtors and RT (you) making difficult money? Are your shakhas, vachanalays, shiv vadapav kendras and the likes coming up on your hard earned money? 

MM: mVehicles of political parties are allowed to pass through toll booths without paying any charge. Do you approve of this practice? RT:Absolutely not. 

WS: Right now go and check at any of the Toll Nakas, vehicles with the wretched MNS flags on the dashboard, pass thru the nakas without paying Toll! and this is not a recent happening. Its been happening for quiet some time now.
