Maharashtra Cabinet Meeting Today, Major Decisions Expected Before Code Of Conduct For Assembly Elections 2024

Mumbai: Ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections 2024, the government has been holding marathon cabinet meetings. On Monday morning (September 30) too a cabinet meeting is scheduled and major decisions and announcements are expected as the model code of conduct for the assembly polls will come into effect anytime soon. The term of the current government ends on November 26 and polls will be held before that.
Last week, the government made 24 decisions in the cabinet meeting that were not on the agenda and were introduced at the last minute. Notably, this could be the last meeting before the election commission announces the polling schedule and model code of conduct is implemented, after which no government decision can be taken.
In the last cabinet meeting, the Mahayuti government took a significant decision ahead of polls to include three caste groups – Tilori Kunbi, Tillori Kunbi and Ti Kunbi in the other backward class (OBC) category. Approving a long pending demand of the milk producers, the cabinet decided to offer Rs 7 per liter, instead of Rs 5 as a grant for cow milk. The Rs 965.24 crore earmarked for the purpose will make scores of milk producers happy ahead of the elections as they will get Rs 35 per liter as the procurement price.
The state ministers have been hinting that the code of conduct will come into effect in first or second week of October. PM Modi is expected to be in Mumbai to inaugurate government’s ambitious underground Metro 3 project. While, Home Minister Amit Shah will be in Mumbai on tomorrow (Tuesday, October 1) to hold final talks on Mahayuti seat-sharing and poll preparations on the booth level.
It is said that after PM Modi’s and Amit Shah’s visit the assembly poll schedule will be announced. Meanwhile, on Saturday during the press conference in Mumbai, Election Commissioner India indicated that the elections are expected to occur after Diwali and acknowledged that political parties had requested the Election Commission to consider major festivals, like Diwali, when scheduling.

Gadchiroli : After the surrender of commander Bhupati alias Sanu and 60 Maoists with weapons, the Naxalites got a shock, confidence in government was restored : Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: The end of Maoists in Maharashtra is near. In Gudchiroli, a prominent Maoist, Venugopal Malujo alias Bhupati alias Sonu, who was active in many places, has surrendered along with his associates. 60 Maoists have surrendered before the Gudchiroli police, which is a big success for the Maharashtra Police. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state’s Gadchiroli area and many Maoists have surrendered and they have returned to the right path and normal life. Their faith in the Constitution of India and the administration has been restored. It is a great blessing that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state. Soon, the 10 to 15 Maoists who are hiding in the forests will also surrender. He said that Bhupati had expressed his desire to surrender. The police were in touch with him and then he expressed his desire that he wanted to surrender to me. So I said that I am ready to go to the forest too. But Bhupati was brought here and today Bhupati has surrendered. This is a big success. With the efforts of the central and state governments, the Naxalites have now become unstable and weak, which is why many Naxalites have surrendered before.
Fadnavis has said that the red terror has ended, the surrender of Naxalites from the borders around Gudchiroli is certain, due to the crackdown on Maoists from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and other borders, Maoists have either surrendered or repented from Naxalism to a large extent. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah’s dream of a Pakistan-India relationship with the Naxalites is being realized in shame. Bhupati was a Maoist who was the backbone and ideological ideology of the Maoists. His surrender will further strengthen the police operation. He said that it is the result of the hard work of all the senior officers including Maharashtra Police DGP Rashmi Shukla and the officers involved in the Naxal operation that the Maoists’ back has been broken today. Fadnavis said that there was a reward of Rs 6 crore on the Naxalites and now this Maoist has been brought back to the right path.
