After the announcement of Maharashtra elections, the Mahayuti government presented its report card, said – even the opponents are surprised by schemes like Ladki Bahin.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar released the report card of the ‘Mahayuti’ government during a joint press conference in Mumbai. RPI(A) chief and Union minister Ramdas Athawale was also present. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that our opponents are surprised by the overwhelming response to our government’s schemes for women like Ladki Bahin. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra has brought transformative schemes. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said at the Mahayuti press conference in Mumbai that the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance works with an anti-development vision.

Taking a dig at UBT faction leader Uddhav Thackeray, Mahayuti leaders said the former CM was delaying projects in the state while the opposition parties were busy spinning the narrative. Meanwhile, Mumbai Congress general secretary Javed Shroff joined the NCP in the presence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and state NCP chief Sunil Tatkare. The election bugle has sounded for Maharashtra, where the ruling Mahayuti will face a direct fight with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The BJP aims to retain power in the 288-strong Maharashtra Assembly along with allies Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NCP led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.

The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is facing a challenge from the Congress-NCP (SP)-Shiv Sena (UBT) Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, which is hoping to repeat its performance in the Lok Sabha elections. In the Lok Sabha elections, the opposition MVA alliance won 31 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra.
