Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: During his two-day visit to Latur and Beed districts, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated that he is refraining from making any statements against the opposition or rebutting their claims because his party has a plethora of welfare schemes and development projects to showcase.

Pawar emphasized the NCP-led government's dedication to the welfare of all segments of society, irrespective of caste, religion, region, or language. He highlighted the statewide "Jan Sanman Yatra," aimed at promoting awareness of government schemes, such as the Majhi Ladki Bhagin Yojana providing financial assistance to hardworking women. Additionally, Pawar mentioned initiatives including free education for girls, waiving electricity bills for farmers, crop insurance scheme for a nominal fee, milk subsidy, and increased honorarium for various community roles.He mentioned that these initiatives would persist for the next five years if the Mahayuti receives support in the forthcoming elections.
