I’ve announced an increase in the scheme’s stipend from Rs1500 to Rs2100 per month. Our goal is to enable women to stand independently. We’re also promoting and marketing products from women’s self-help groups to ensure they get their rightful market share.”

He said that the government is promoting and marketing products from women’s self-help groups to ensure they get their rightful market share. The goal is to make every woman a lakhpati.

“We strive to make every woman a lakhpati. For women’s safety, we’re recruiting 25,000 female police officers, making our sisters feel secure. To amplify women’s voices in the assembly, I urge Mumbadevi constituency citizens to elect Shaina NC with a massive majority,” said the Maharashtra CM.

To address the congested area’s redevelopment issues, seven government agencies have joined forces to revive stalled projects.

People can carry the manifesto in their pockets, which also has a QR code. The voters can scan the code to easily access poll promises the party has made, Thackeray said.
