After the noise of assembly election campaign in Maharashtra subsided, the Chief Minister of the state Eknath Shinde held a press conference. During this, Shinde also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. CM said that Rahul Gandhi showed the safe in which nothing was found. He should have taken that safe from Matoshree because something or the other would have definitely come out of it. Raj Thackeray's comparison of Uddhav with a traitor is absolutely right. Uddhav Thackeray gave up Babasaheb's ideas for the post of CM and went with Congress. He has stabbed the people of Maharashtra in the back.
The Chief Minister said that if there is anyone in Maharashtra who is the biggest joker then it is Sanjay Raut. Rahul Gandhi had come to loot the treasury of Maharashtra, but were there less robbers here? People took Eknath Shinde lightly and Shinde put you (opponents) in a tight spot. He said that Shinde is a working person.
On the issue of CM face, Eknath Shinde said that there is no race in Mahayuti whether he should become me or someone else. We are taking forward Balasaheb Thackeray's Hindutva. Our scheme which we have started is providing benefits to people of all castes. We have worked by taking everyone together.
Maharashtra CM claimed that Mahavikas Aghadi opposed the projects in Mumbai. Even after this we worked on many projects and we also had an open challenge. Today you are using Metro-2, Coaster Road and Atal Setu. New projects are also encouraged.
He said that MVA approved 4 irrigation projects, we approved 124 projects. We decided to provide crop insurance and waive off loans. I am not in the habit of spreading fake news. People are happy with our work. I am sure that on 20th there will be voting in large numbers and everyone believes that the grand alliance will come again.
Enumerating his achievements and schemes, CM Shinde said that the Mahayuti government gave subsidy on soybean and cotton. It was decided to give a guarantee price of Rs 4892 on soybean. Cotton will get a guaranteed price of Rs 7 thousand 192. CCI will make purchases in this regard. Apart from this, export will also be allowed. Onion export was also stopped.
NDRF rules were changed. Therefore, farmers will not be left destitute. Farmers are our food providers. We will never leave them behind. We have also started many schemes for the farmers but the opponents are trying to provoke the farmers.
