Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde praised the development works undertaken in Ambernath area of Thane district in Maharashtra and pledged metro connectivity to the town should his party secure victory in the upcoming Maharashtra local body elections, reported the PTI.

While speaking at an election rally in Ambernath town late on Saturday night, Eknath Shinde stated that he is the true Shiv Sainik of Balasaheb Thackeray, one who stands by and fulfils every assurance he makes.


He commended the development efforts in Ambernath, which falls under the constituency of his son, Kalyan MP Dr Shrikant Shinde.



Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde highlighted significant development initiatives and vowed to bring metro connectivity as well as a Thane-model cluster scheme to the town.

“If the people so desire, they can ensure that our rivals lose their deposits in the Ambernath Municipal Council elections,” he declared, according to the PTI.

Reflecting on his modest upbringing and experiences of hardship, Shinde said that the sacrifices made by his mother and wife motivated him to launch the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme, which provides a monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 to women from economically disadvantaged families, as per the PTI.

He added that the scheme has received immense affection from women across Maharashtra.

Meanwhile, Shinde on Sunday held a roadshow in Roha town of Raigad in Maharashtra and also addressed a rally.

Addressing the crowd, he appealed to voters to support the ‘Bow and Arrow’ symbol if they want to see real change and development in the city.

Shinde said that if the people of Roha want faster development, better facilities, and a transformed city, they should vote for the Mahayuti candidate, Shilpa Dhotre, and her team. He urged citizens to elect them with a strong majority.

Shinde assured the public that the Shiv Sena is committed to the development of Roha. He promised that the government would provide all necessary funds for key projects such as better roads, clean drinking water, an underground drainage system, improved hospital facilities, cleaning of the Kundalika river, and strengthening overall infrastructure. He added that a significant amount of funding has already been given to Roha, and more work will be carried out in the coming years.
