Voting for Maharashtra’s 288-seat assembly is scheduled for November 20, with results expected on November 23. Highlighting his government’s achievements, Shinde stated, “If we can work so much in two-and-half years, imagine how much we will work in five years.”
He called for a renewed mandate, emphasising affordable homes for the poor and questioning why only the elite should lead, hinting at a swipe against Uddhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT). “We will give the poor affordable homes. Don’t the poor have the right to a house in Mumbai? Can’t the son of a poor farmer be CM? Or only those born with a silver spoon can become CM,” he said, PTI reported.
