THE people of Maharashtra have given a clear verdict on which is the genuine Shiv Sena and NCP by ensuring a massive victory for the MahaYuti in the Assembly polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said here on Saturday. The Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party split in June 2022 and July 2023, respectively, with a faction each of the two parties joining the BJP-led MahaYuti and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi. The MahaYuti won 230 of the 288 Maharashtra assembly seats in the polls held in November, while the Sena and NCP factions led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar, respectively, fared poorly. Shah said he was deeply grateful to Maharashtra for the stellar support in the Assembly polls. “Your blessings brought the MahaYuti to power, leading to the formation of the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP Govt. By giving a historic mandate, the people of Maharashtra also delivered a clear verdict on which Shiv Sena and which NCP are genuine,” Shah said. “

 

If there is one State that has got the maximum number of houses under PMAY, it is Maharashtra. Besides housing, the PM has ensured every household has a toilet, which has protected their self esteem,” he said. By 2029, a total of five crore houses will come up under the scheme, of which allotment of 3.80 crore tenements is already over, the Union Minister informed.
