Chitale was appointed last year to probe the irregularities in awarding irrigation contracts worth thousands of crores by the state water resources department controlled by the NCP. The ministry was headed by deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar for most of the last decade before he handed over charge to his party colleague Sunil Tatkare.
Following a TOI expose of how a substantial chunk of the Rs 70,000 crore spent on irrigation projects was either siphoned off or wasted on dud projects, the chief minister was forced to appoint an inquiry committee.
However, the terms of reference for the committee, headed by water management expert Madhav Chitale, were watered down considerably. It had no powers to summon any official or politicians for questioning unlike a judicial inquiry, which enjoys certain powers.
The report could be embarrassing for the NCP on the eve of the parliament elections although there is speculation that Chitale has not indicted any politician or looked into their role despite substantial evidence. The opposition is likely to make it into an election issue and pressure the government to table it quickly.
