Inflation hike approved on demand of Assembly member Rais Shaikh, proposal for necessary rate hike to Centre

Mumbai: The Maharashtra government on Wednesday announced that it will send a proposal to the Centre to link the expenditure on nutritious food provided in Anganwadis to inflation to ensure adequate funding. The announcement was made after Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh raised a zero hour question in the Assembly.
The state has 1,03,000 Anganwadi centres and the central government has allocated Rs 1,03,000. Nutritious food has been provided to more than 60 lakh children at the rate of Rs 8 per beneficiary since the year 2017. There is an urgent need to increase the expenditure on nutritious food provided in Anganwadis. Therefore, it should be increased regularly in line with the inflation rate of 6-8 per cent. Shaikh said that to avoid the demand for increase in expenditure, the state government should submit a proposal to the Centre to increase expenditure in line with inflation.
Responding to Shaikh’s demand, Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare said that we will definitely send a proposal to the Centre soon as suggested by Shaikh.
Shaikh informed that since there has been no increase in the amount provided by the Centre since 2017, the budget allocation has been reduced due to inflation. The budget for 2024-25 has been cut as compared to the provisions for 2023-24. This is affecting the overall scheme of providing nutritious food to children, Shaikh said.

Mumbai: Harassment of ordinary Muslims in the name of Bangladeshis should stop, Abu Asim makes serious allegations against the government over Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement

abu azmi
Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader Worker Assembly Abu Asim Azmi criticized the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister and the Central Government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. The population of Muslims in India has increased due to Bangladeshis. This is completely wrong. The residents of West Bengal and ordinary Muslims are being targeted under the guise of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. He said that the government is yours in many states and at the center, so how do Bangladeshi infiltrators enter from the border? What action has the government taken against those who forge their documents so far? He said that targeting Muslims under the guise of Bangladeshi should be stopped, just as Karat Soumya is trying to fake the certificates and documents of every Muslim and is targeting Muslims. He said that the government should pay attention to how Bangladeshi infiltrators infiltrate from the Indian border. This is not the job of Congress, SP or other parties. It is the job of the government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistanis and to bring them to justice. But Muslims should not be harassed or disturbed. He said that action is being taken against those officers who are preparing documents for Bangladeshis.
