Maharashtra’s Mahayuti Govt Pledges Rs 10 Crore Each As Aid For Flood-Hit Assam & Landslide-Hit Kerala

Maharashtra Govt Plans To Spend ₹270 Crore On Advertisements To Ensure Effective Public Reach Of New Schemes Ahead Of State Assembly Elections

Mumbai: The Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government has decided to extend a helping hand to flood-hit Assam by donating Rs 10 crore for relief measures.

About The Aid

The north-eastern state witnessed heavy rains last month, in which scores of people were displaced, apart from the damage caused to roads and public transport. The money will go to the Assam Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, says the order issued by the Maharashtra government. Sensing that the Rs 10 crore in aid would invite comments from the opposition parties, the Shinde government has decided to donate an equal amount to Kerala as well, for relief works in Wayanad and surrounding areas, after a massive landslide in that district claimed over 200 lives.

The gesture by the Mahayuti government may be seen in the light of the ‘special’ bond with Assam – the Eknath Shinde-led group of rebel Shiv Sena MLAs had enjoyed an extended stay in Guwahati in June 2022 before returning to Mumbai to participate in the no-trust motion against the then Uddhav Thackeray-led state government.

Even during their stay in June 2022, there was heavy rain in Assam, throwing normal life out of gear. The rebel group had then donated Rs 51 lakh to the Assam Relief Fund out of their pockets.

The help extended to Kerala is also the second such instance in a decade, as, in 2018 too, Maharashtra had sent monetary and material assistance to the southern state when it was ravaged by floods. The BJP-led government in Maharashtra had also deputed a special team of 100 members, comprising doctors and paramedical staff at that time.

Rein in the reckless MLA Sanjay Gaikwad: Nana Patole Remember even if you think of touching Rahul Gandhi’s hair.

Mumbai, 16 September 2024

Known for his notorious statements and unruly behaviour, Buldhana MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has once again shown his true colours by announcing a reward of Rs 11 lakh for anyone who cuts off the tongue of the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Nana Patole has given a stern warning that the government should take serious note of this statement by this criminal-minded MLA, and a case must be filed against him. Patole further said that and he should be reined in or else Congress workers know how to deal such goons.

Speaking on the matter, Congress state president Nana Patole said that seeing the increasing popularity of Rahul Gandhi, the ground is slipping beneath the feet of the BJP and its allies. As a result, the frustrated and desperate ruling party is twisting Rahul Gandhi’s statements and running a smear campaign against him. Rahul Gandhi never said that he would end reservations. On the contrary, he stated that the 50% limit on reservations should be removed to address the pending issues of communities seeking reservations. However, the BJP and their agents are continuously spreading rumours and trying to create a fake narrative. BJP’s goons and their allies are even going to the extent of issuing death threats. The government is taking no action against these thugs, leaving the public to wonder whether the rule of law prevails in the country or BJP’s hooligans.

Do people like Sanjay Gaikwad even know what Rahul Gandhi said in America? Rahul Gandhi is not afraid of Modi and Shah, so he certainly won’t be intimidated by the threats of local criminals like Sanjay Gaikwad. Millions of Congress workers across Maharashtra and the entire country, including us, are ready to stand as a shield to protect him. Don’t even think about trying to harm him in any way, no one can even touch his hair, warned the Congress state president.
