Shiv Sena’s Neelam Gorhe Confident in Mahayuti’s Success with Ladli Behan Scheme
In Mumbai, Maharashtra, Shiv Sena leader Neelam Gorhe expressed confidence in the Mahayuti alliance’s success in the upcoming elections, thanks to the Ladli Behan scheme. She highlighted the increased awareness among women voters and the efforts of women workers visiting 30,000 households to promote the government’s work. Gorhe criticized the opposition for defaming the state government and praised the Mahayuti’s achievements, including infrastructure projects like Atal Setu and the water grid in Marathwada.
The Mahayuti government, led by Eknath Shinde, has successfully transferred five installments of the Ladli Behan scheme, providing financial support to women. Chief Minister Shinde emphasized the importance of continuing the scheme despite the Model Code of Conduct, ensuring the November installment was paid in October. The Maharashtra assembly elections are set for November 20, with results on November 23. The Mahayuti alliance, including Shiv Sena, BJP, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, faces opposition from the MVA coalition, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Nationalist Congress Party (SCP).
