Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday said in the first 40 days of assuming office, his government took 750 decisions and criticized the erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) administration for issuing orders in an arbitrary manner during its final days. He claimed some orders were issued by the earlier government even after his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray had quit office in June-end and asked why they should not be reviewed.

Shinde, who took oath on June 30, said in the first 40 days, his government, which is supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), took 750 decisions. The CM was talking to reporters on the eve of the monsoon session of the state legislature which begins in Mumbai on August 17. He also took a dig at the Opposition and his predecessor Thackeray, saying his government is the one which “works on the field (ground)”.
