Worry is the important thing within the badlands of Beed

Beed has spinning mills and ginning factories, the Parli thermal energy station (the place a fly-ash mafia is alleged to be energetic) and plenty of sugar mills, but it surely relies upon largely on cotton and sugarcane cultivation.

One of many poorest districts within the state, it’s staggeringly uncared for.

Giant elements of Beed haven’t any entry to water, compelling ladies to stroll lengthy distances to fetch the day’s necessities. In Patoda village, as many as 200 younger males are but to be married, claims deputy sarpanch Surekha Bhusnar, as a result of no one needs their daughters to marry males from a village with no water. A minimum of 77 different villages face an analogous water shortage, says Bhusnar.

Politically, Beed has had truthful illustration within the state. As many as 14 MLAs from the district have been ministers. At present, the district boasts two ministers: the BJP’s Pankaja Munde and late BJP stalwart Gopinath Munde’s nephew Dhananjay Munde of the NCP (Ajit Pawar).

Beed has no rail connectivity and roads are but to achieve massive elements of the district. Hardly any new industries have been arrange, whereas present sugar and spinning mills are owned and managed by a number of households — Munde’s prolonged household being certainly one of them.

Dhanajay Munde’s hyperlinks with the underworld stand uncovered within the wake of Santosh Deshmukh’s homicide. (The sarpanch’s solely fault was that he responded to a name from the guards at a photo voltaic power unit who had been assaulted by criminals demanding ‘hafta’.) Deshmukh was reportedly assaulted with iron rods and the killing allegedly shared reside on a video name with a ‘politician’ no one needs to call.

Everyone is aware of that ‘politician’ is Walmik Karad, whose proximity to Dhananjay Munde is not any secret. Those that kidnapped and killed Deshmukh are recognized to be Karad’s henchmen.
