‘Doles Targeting Women Will Stop In 2 To 3 Months,’ Says Shiv Sena UBT Chief Uddhav Thackeray
Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday accused the Eknath Shinde government of luring women voters with the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana ahead of Maharashtra assembly polls and asserted the initiative will stop in two to three months.
Addressing party workers at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Sunday, he also renewed his demand to waive farm loans in line with the government’s announcement of a scheme to write off the electricity bills of farmers.
Uddhav also sought a satisfactory solution on the Maratha and OBC reservation from the government. He claimed that the Mahayuti government will not come into power again and if it comes, then they will wrap up the Ladki Bahin Scheme.
Sops Announced In The Budget
In the budget tabled in the assembly last week, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar announced sops ahead of state polls, which are likely to be held in October and November. Uddhav alleged that this government has nothing to offer to the people. It is a ‘jumlebaz’ government, Mahayuti government is encouraging quarrels among communities. He requested people to not fight each other on caste and ensured them that he was with them for their lawful demands.
“You come up with a reasonable and comprehensive solution, I will support you,” Uddhav Thackeray said to the government. Uddhav also appealed to the government to convene meetings with OBC activist Laxman Hake and Maratha activist Manoj Jarange-Patil and advised to tell them the truth about whether the government can give reservation to them. “Why government is playing with the lives of these people?” Uddhav asked.
Uddhav Thackeray Accuses BJP Of Driving A Wedge Between Castes In Maharashtra
Thackeray accused the BJP of driving a wedge between castes in Maharashtra.
“I appeal to the Maratha, OBC and Dhangar activists not to fight each other. If lakhs of people can come together to celebrate the World Cup victory then can’t we come for our lawful rights?” asked Uddhav.
Uddhav also appealed to the activists of all communities to come together and hold meetings with the CM and DCM. If there is a need to increase the limit of reservation percentage then inform them to pass a resolution in assembly and send it to the Parliament for further action. I will support the said resolution unconditionally, he added.
While targeting Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, Uddhav alleged that they had stolen the victory. They stole symbol, name and used Balasaheb Thackeray to win the Lok Sabha election.

Maharashtra: MLA Sanjay Shirsat & Former MP Hemant Patil To Serve As Ministers In Short-Term Roles Before State Assembly Elections
Mumbai: Two staunch supporters of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde – MLA Sanjay Shirsat and former MP Hemant Patil – who had deserted Uddhav Thackeray to join the Mahayuti, will get short stints as ministers.
About The Appointment
Shirsat, who is also officiating as the party spokesman, has been appointed chairman of the Cash and landrich City & Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). The CIDCO chairmanship comes with the rank of minister for Shirsat, who was denied a cabinet berth as there were already two ministers from the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district – Atul Save and Abdul Sattar.
Patil, who had represented the Hingoli Lok Sabha constituency but was denied the party ticket in the 2024 general election, has been appointed the chairman of the Balasaheb Thackeray Haridra (Turmeric) Research and Training Centre (HBTHRATC), a classified government company under the state department of agriculture. He too has now been given the rank of a minister.
These two appointments come shortly before the state assembly elections scheduled in November. With the announcement of the election schedule expected in the first week of October, Shirsat and Patil will enjoy this status for 20-25 days. Once the schedule is out, the election code of conduct will come into force and the status will become meaningless, said an official from Mantralaya. Both Shirsat and Patil are most likely to contest the upcoming polls. Both Patil and Shirsat are from the Marathwada region, where the Shinde group is trying to strengthen its roots.

Ahead Of Maharashtra Elections, CM Eknath Shinde Appoints Shiv Sena Colleagues On Key Positions
Mumbai: In a bid to quell potential dissent in the ruling Shiv Sena ahead of assembly polls, the Eknath Shinde-led government on Monday appointed former MP Anandrao Adsul and party MLA Sanjay Shirsat on key bodies.
Shirsat has been appointed the chairman of the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), one of the richest state government undertakings.
Shirsat is one of the Shiv Sena MLAs who was vocal about his disappointment over not getting a cabinet position in the past.
According to an order issued by the Urban Development Department, headed by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Cidco chairman’s post is equivalent to cabinet rank.
Siddhesh Kadam, son of Sena leader Ramdas Kadam, was made the chairman of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.
Shinde also appointed his party colleague and former MP Anandrao Adsul as the chairman of the Maharashtra State Scheduled Caste and Tribes Commission.
A government order issued on Monday stated that the tenure of the appointment would be for the next one-and-a-half years or till the next government order is out.
Adsul had earlier claimed that he had been promised to be made governor of a state, but Sena did not follow through.
Dharmpal Meshram, vice president of the state BJP and its spokesperson, has been appointed deputy chairperson of the State Scheduled Caste and Tribes Commission for a three-year term.
The state government recently granted cabinet rank to the chairman of Balasaheb Thackeray Turmeric Research and Training Centre (BTTRTC) in Vasmat tehsil of Hingoli district.
Established in 2022, the BTTRTC was initially headed by former MP Hemant Patil.
The state government Monday elevated the post of Hemant Patil to the rank of a cabinet minister.
Political observers stated that Shinde is trying to pacify his colleagues disappointed over various reasons.
