In Mumbai, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Subhash Desai discussed the release of their 'Vachan Nama' manifesto. He explained that while the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has previously released a manifesto, not all issues can be addressed in one document. Desai emphasized the need for solutions to various concerns, including those of pensioners and sarpanches.
The manifesto includes promises such as reinstating the old pension scheme, conducting a caste census, providing cashless medical treatment up to 35 lakhs, building a temple of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in every district, and ensuring food security.
Desai highlighted the 'annasuraksha' (food security) guarantee, which aims to stabilize prices for essential commodities like wheat, rice, oil, pulses, and sugar without harming farmers.
The opposition MVA announced five guarantees, including the Mahalakshmi Yojana for women, offering Rs 3,000 per month to one woman in every family and free bus travel for women. The announcement was made at a rally attended by prominent leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Udhav Thackeray.
