Thackeray's big statement on My Beloved Sister scheme, said...
In Brief
Heavy rains have severely affected Marathwada and other parts of Maharashtra
Thackeray's biggest demand for beloved sisters
The government should provide substantial assistance to beloved sisters
Due to heavy rainfall, not only Marathwada but other parts of Maharashtra have also been severely affected. The torrential rain has submerged the crops of farmers. The crops of the Kharif season, which were almost ready for harvest, have been completely destroyed by water. In such a situation, there is a demand for substantial financial assistance for the farmers. Keeping this in mind, former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has made a significant demand. He has requested the government to provide substantial assistance to the beloved sisters under the Mazi Ladki Bahin scheme.
What exactly did Uddhav Thackeray say?
Uddhav Thackeray held a press conference today (October 1). In his press conference, he made an important demand that the government should provide assistance of 50,000 rupees per hectare to farmers who have suffered significant losses. He also stated that the government should clear the farmers' land records. Thackeray further mentioned that while crops have been lost, loans are being recovered from them, and this practice should be stopped. During this time, journalists asked him about the 'Ladki Bahini' scheme. Speaking on this, he said the government should provide the benefits for the next six months to the beloved sisters in advance. Just as the government had given two to three months' worth of money in advance during the election period, similar payments should be made this time as well. Thackeray made a significant demand that through this money, the families of the beloved sisters would receive financial assistance in such a situation.
Eknath Shinde criticized
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has responded to Uddhav Thackeray's demand. The opposition has no right to speak on the beloved sister scheme. When this scheme was introduced, they opposed it. Therefore, they have no right to speak on this scheme now, criticized Eknath Shinde. Meanwhile, will the government take note of Thackeray's demand for the beloved sisters? Will the beloved sisters be given the money for the next few months in advance? Additionally, will the government take note of Thackeray's demands for the farmers? It will be important to see.
