What did Eknath Shinde say?
Eknath Shinde said that this joining is a proof of the increase in his party’s popularity. Shinde said that Shiv Sena plays its promises and that is why people from all over Maharashtra, especially from Vidarbha, are believing in the leadership of the party.
There has been a strict political rivalry between Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray in Yavatmal district. The Shiv Sena has claimed that soon 10,000 officials and political workers from West Vidarbha may join the party.
Pointing towards Ladki Bahn Yojana
Shinde said, “Be it our dear sisters, farmers or senior citizens, the government brought good days for everyone. The historic mandate that Mahayuti received in the November 2024 assembly elections was no coincidence, it was earned.”
Pointing to the Ladki Bahn Yojana, Eknath Shinde said, “Where the opposition parties are still dreaming of power, the public has already moved forward and has expressed confidence in the policies of Mahayuti. Those who were dreaming of power, have been defeated by the people, especially our sisters.”
