Mumbai: In a joint media interaction at Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s official residence, he himself, and Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar attributed the overwhelming victory of the Mahayuti to the success of its pro-people initiatives, including the Ladki Bahin scheme.
The joint victory speech highlighted not only their political success but also their shared vision for Maharashtra, “built on unity, development, and people-centric policies”. Shinde hailed the victory as historic, emphasising that the people of Maharashtra had taken control of the election, delivering a decisive win for Mahayuti.
“This speaks volumes about the real essence of the Shiv Sena and NCP,” Shinde stated. He also highlighted plans to empower ordinary citizens, saying, “I was once called the ‘Common Man’ CM, but the people have transformed us into ‘superheroes’. Now, we aim to uplift every common man into a ‘superman’.”
