Mumbai, 7 November (IANS). Assembly elections are to be held in Maharashtra in a single phase on November 20. Political activity is in full swing in the state regarding this. Shiv Sena candidate from Mumbadevi assembly seat of the state, Shaina NC, has thanked Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for giving her the ticket.
Speaking to IANS, Shaina NC said, “I think Eknath Shinde has provided an opportunity, given a new direction, and made us all resolve that we will do politics for the development and progress of Mumbai. In the last 15 years, we saw that there were leaders in the region who did not do much for progress. But now there is a chance to elect a new leader. I will work on the principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, Sabka Vishwas’.”
He termed Maha Vikas Aghadi as “Maha Vinash Aghadi” and said that it cannot be trusted. When 2.5 crore women were getting seven and a half thousand rupees under the Ladli Behan Scheme, what was their reaction? He talked about canceling it, and raised questions about where the money was coming from. Now when his opportunity is coming, he is saying that we will give double. There is a big difference here, the Honorable Chief Minister has done the work.
He said, “As far as ‘Maha Vinash Aghadi’ is concerned, they do politics of appeasement, have lost their ideology, and now they are engaged in Muslim and Dalit vote bank politics. Whereas Mahayuti only does politics of progress. Believes in doing, and there is a lot left to do in a big city like Mumbai.”
Shaina, who was the spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had joined Shiv Sena just before the NC assembly elections. Shiv Sena has fielded him from Mumbadevi assembly seat.
