What did Aditya Thackeray say?
“People are tearing the carrot budget presented by the grand coalition government. During his two years in power, he never remembered his sisters or farmers. This is the same BJP , when farmers were protesting in Delhi. They were lathicharged then. They were called extremists. They were fired upon. Even in Maharashtra, the same BJP government called him an urban Naxalist”, criticized Aditya Thackeray while talking to the media.
“One and a half thousand rupees will be given for the Ladki Bahin Yojana. However, we demanded to pay them eight thousand rupees. They have put 100 conditions in it too. Even after that, even if it gets one and a half thousand rupees, what will happen to one and a half thousand rupees today? Now the inflation that has been maintained by the Bharatiya Janata Party government. What will happen in this one and a half thousand rupees. Now the government is announcing something to do something because of the fear of defeat in the elections”, said Aditya Thackeray.
What announcements did the government make?
Finance Minister Ajit Pawar presented the Additional Budget in the Legislative Assembly. He has brought many schemes for women in this budget. In the wake of Madhya Pradesh’s Ladli Behen Yojana, Maharashtra has introduced the Ladki Bahin Yojana.
