Addressing the media, Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar Faction) leader Ajit Pawar slammed the Opposition for spreading misleading information about the Mahayuti’s work. He pointed to successful government schemes like the Ladli Bahna Yojana, which benefited women immensely and dismissed allegations that the scheme would not be funded.
Election Commission’s decision and Opposition’s claims
Pawar also addressed the allegations against the Election Commission's decision, accusing the Opposition of creating fake news about the election phase. He stressed that the Election Commission was functioning independently and all Mahayuti Alliance allies were united. He presented a report on the progress made by the government from 2022 to 2024, stressing that development plans have been implemented for all segments of society.
