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.

Maharashtra Marathi Hindi Controversy: Strict action will be taken against those who take law into their hands: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear on the Hindi-Marathi language dispute that linguistic discrimination and violence cannot be tolerated. If anyone instigates violence in the name of Marathi language or takes the law into his own hands, strict action will be taken against him because it is the government’s responsibility to maintain law and order. He said that in the Mira Road Hindi Marathi violence case, the police have registered a case and taken action.

A committee has been formed in the matter of Marathi and Hindi language. Whatever is better for the students on its recommendation, the government will implement it. No decision has been taken under anyone’s pressure. He said that the recommendation for Hindi language was made during the Maha Vikas Aghadi rule itself, but now these same people are opposing it. The public knows everything.

He said that in this election, BJP has got 51 percent Marathi votes. Violence and discrimination in the name of language cannot be tolerated. Marathi is a source of pride for us, but we do not oppose Hindi. What will happen if a Marathi businessman in another state is asked to speak his language? In Assam, he was asked to speak Assamese. He said that strict action will be taken against those who break the law.
