Addressing one of the rallies, CM Fadnavis said that the state government does not intend to discontinue the Ladki Bahin scheme for women, dismissing claims of the opposition regarding the potential withdrawal of the monthly financial assistance
He also assured that the free electricity scheme for farmers will continue, adding that they will get a round-the-clock supply once solar projects in the state become operational
"Some people claim that since the BJP has got a popular mandate (in elections), the government will stop the Ladki Bahin and other schemes. The Ladki Bahin scheme has been going on for a year now. This scheme will never stop till I am the Chief Minister," he said
The flagship 'Mukhyamantri Mazi Ladki Bahin Yojna' provides a monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,500 to eligible women from economically weaker sections
CM Fadnavis reiterated the government's resolve to make the Marathwada region drought-fee, saying the work of a project to bring 54 TMC water from the Konkan region will commence next year
