Speculations were rife that Shinde cancelled the tour in the backdrop of his party's tussle for having a better seat share in the Assembly elections, in which the BJP is expected to contest 155-160 seats. 

"CM Eknath Shinde has undergone an eye surgery. He has been advised to take rest by the doctors. As per the advice, the CM has cancelled the 'Ladki Bahin' function in Shirdi and the groundbreaking ceremony of the onion bank in Rahuri. Media is requested to not speculate over this," said a note from the CMO.
