PUNE: Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on Monday iterated that the residents of the state would not be affected by the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens ( NRC ) or the National Population Register ( NPR ) because no one can force their implementation.Addressing a press meet, he said as a tripartite government, there were discussions among the parties over these. “Our chief minister has assured that citizens in our state will not be affected by the NRC or NPR,” he said.The deputy chief minister said states like Rajasthan, West Bengal, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh — all ruled by single parties — had announced that they would not implement NRC.Commenting on the depleting funds of the state government as the finance minister, he said even as the registration department was among the departments generating high revenue, he had steered clear of either increasing or decreasing the Ready Reckoner rates and had called for a realistic value.On the forthcoming expectations of the state from the central budget in the weekend, he said the state was keeping a close watch and would take a call after the budget was tabled.The deputy chief minister on Monday cleared 1990.84-crore budget for the Pune division — an increase of Rs354.02 crore. Pune district was sanctioned Rs625 crore, Satara Rs325 crore, Solapur Rs424.32 crore, Kolhapur Rs331.52 crore and Sangli Rs285 crore for the 2020-21 financial year.
