Mahayuti leaders release a 10-point vachan-nama (promises) on Tuesday
A night before the Congress and Maha Vikas Aghadi announced its guarantee for the Maharashtra voters, the Mahayuti led the campaign by releasing a 10-point vachan-nama (promises) ahead of the November 20 state Assembly elections.
It's a please-all agenda that the ruling alliance expected to beat the Karnataka-Telangana-like populist dole the Congress-led opposition coalition has unveiled in Mumbai.
CM Eknath Shinde, DyCM Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar kicked off Mahayuti's joint campaign in Kolhapur on Tuesday night, assuring the voters of âunprecedented' prosperity and development. As expected the troika emphasised on âin vogue' Ladki Bahin Yojana, promising the women to increase the monthly allowance from Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,100.
"We'll release a comprehensive vachan-nama soon, but these 10 points are very important for economic relief, employment generation, social security, and women's safety," said Shinde, adding that the first right to the state's treasury was of the farmers. "We will waive off farm loans and raise the Shetkari Sanman Yojana grant further," he said.
