Maharashtra government minister and NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, while taking saline in the hospital, connected online and talked to the citizens of Yeola under the Mahayuti campaign on November 30. This address took place at an important stage of the election campaign, where Bhujbal conveyed his message to the people despite not being physically present.

The importance of this virtual dialogue also increased because it became an example of unusual but very emotional bonding in the election environment. Bhujbal clearly said in his address that he wanted to contest the elections directly, but this was not possible due to the recent surgery.

He cited the compulsion to maintain distance from on-ground presence not due to lack of public support but due to health conditions. Even while sending messages from the hospital bed, his political enthusiasm and connection with the public was clearly visible. He said that he is not able to meet in person, hence he is sharing his heartfelt feelings through this medium.

Despite my wish, I could not be physically present in Yevalya today due to the surgical procedure. But I am always with you.

Emphasis on development of Yeola

Bhujbal said in his address that “Our Yeola has been an area with historical identity, but it once struggled with drought”. He reminded the people that ever since he got the opportunity to serve in 2004, efforts to change the picture of the village gained momentum. He claimed that today Yeola has a changed identity due to development works like roads, irrigation, drinking water and agricultural reforms. Bhujbal said that this development is not the result of any one person but the strong support and continuous trust of the public. He reiterated that this journey has been possible only with the collective cooperation of all the citizens.

Appeal to support candidates

At the end of his emotional message, Chhagan Bhujbal said that even though he is not physically present in this election, his trust and kinship among the public remains intact as always. He made a humble appeal to the people to extend the same support to Mahayuti candidates as they have given them love and trust over the years. Bhujbal said that his aim is not just elections but to ensure continuous progress and a better future for Yeola. He expressed hope that this time also the public will give priority to development and will continue to contribute to the progress of the area.

The politics of Maharashtra government’s ambitious ‘Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Building Scheme’ has intensified. The state’s Food and Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal has questioned the scheme and said that this can affect other government schemes because all the departments are currently struggling with lack of funds.

At the same time, the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) retaliated at this statement and said that this scheme is associated with the expectation of millions of sisters, it will not be closed under any circumstances.

‘The plan can never be closed’- Shiv Sena

Shiv Sena spokesperson Krishna Hegde reacted to Bhujbal’s statement. He said, “The plan is our major theme, which is supported by millions of sisters, so it can never be closed. The funds allocated for the scheme will continue regular and the government is strong. All departments are getting the necessary funds.”

Hegde further said that the government is working not only for women but for the overall development of the state. He said, “Metro, coastal road and infrastructure projects worth thousands of crores are going on in Mumbai. Bridge, irrigation projects and compensation of farmers are running smoothly across Maharashtra.”

The Shiv Sena spokesperson described the scheme as a symbol of women’s empowerment and called the opposition’s allegations a political stunt.

‘NDA will come to power again in Bihar’- Hegde

Krishna Hegde described the IANS-Matridge Survey on the Bihar Assembly elections as accurate. He said that according to the survey, the NDA is sure to get a majority. He said, “Poll prediction is absolutely correct. In Bihar, BJP and Nitish Kumar’s government will be formed again. Work has been done for youth, women, elderly, farmers and every class. Caste census has been completed and facilities reached the common man. The public is satisfied under the leadership of Nitish, BJP will get full support.”

Center’s quick action on Darjeeling accident

Hegde also reacted to the deaths due to landslides in Darjeeling. He informed that the central government has sent relief material immediately. Hegde said, “Modi put up the entire team in relief work and BJP workers are helping. There is no concrete work during the tenure of Mamta government. She is unable to give relief in the disaster and is now hiding the failure from the rhetoric.”

Lalu Yadav reversed

Shiv Sena spokesperson retaliated on the recent statement of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Yadav. He said, “NDA is going to win. RJD and Congress party are going to lose the election badly again. I think the Congress is going to win six seats and RJD on 11 seats according to the election dates. What is talking about being nine, two and eleven, Lalu Yadav is going to win, it is going to be of RJD and Congress.”

Before the municipal elections in Maharashtra, politics has started to heat up with the government’s ambitious ‘Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’. Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal has given a statement that due to this scheme, the budget is being heavy on other welfare schemes of the state. He clearly said that about 35 thousand crore rupees of the government are going under this scheme annually, due to which resources are decreasing for other schemes.

Budget crisis on other schemes- Chhagan Bhujbal

Chhagan Bhujbal said, “I agree that the government is spending more than 35 thousand crores under the Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme. Due to this, there are problems in other schemes like Ration Anand Yojana in Diwali.” He also said that this year due to heavy rains and floods, the standing crops of farmers have been wasted, which has increased the additional burden of relief work on the government. The process of giving wheat, rice and cash assistance to farmers is going on.

Dual challenge before the government

On the one hand, the state government is running a ‘Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’ with the goal of empowerment of women, on the other hand, farmers and poor affected by natural disasters have to be assisted. Between this double pressure, financial management has become a challenge for the government. Experts say that such schemes may be politically beneficial, but the financial balance can be disturbed in the long run.

What is Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana?

The objective of ‘Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’ is to empower women between 21 and 60 years of age financially. Under this scheme, eligible women are given financial assistance every month. However, recently the names of a large number of ineligible beneficiaries have been revealed, which has raised questions on the credibility of the scheme. The state government says that all the beneficiaries will be investigated in a transparent manner so that the possibility of misuse can be reduced in future.

Maharashtra minister and prominent OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal is angry with the decision of Devendra Fadnavis government regarding Maratha reservation. NCP leader Bhujbal of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar did not attend the cabinet meeting amid displeasure. Now Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has taunted this.

He said on Thursday (4 September), “The Maratha Samaj movement was going on in Mumbai. All his demands have been met by Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra. Happy with this, Manoj Jarange Patil went to his respective homes. It is claimed that OBC reservation will not be shocked by this. Even after saying this, if someone is angry in the cabinet.

Will have to wait for the situation- Sanjay Raut

Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Sanjay Raut said, “… Especially Chhagan Bhujbal is angry. He is boycotting the cabinet meeting. It is better to resign from boycott. After this, tell the OBC society that after giving reservation to the Maratha society, there will be injustice to the OBC society. What has happened and what has not happened, one month will have to wait to see it. ”

Chhagan Bhujbal is angry with the government order to give the status of Kunbi to the Marathas for reservation. Maratha Reservation Movement activist Manoj Jarage on Tuesday has said that after the government proposal (GR) to issue the Kunbi (OBC) caste certificate, the members of their community have said to get the benefit of reservation.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal said on Wednesday evening that he would knock the court against GR. He said, “OBC leaders suspect GR … Who won after Jarang’s movement. We are taking legal opinions about whether the government is authorized to change the caste of the people.”
