Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said on Monday that a bonus for paddy crop will be announced in the upcoming Winter Session of the Maharashtra Legislature to be held in December.
Speaking at a shaasan aplya daari (government at your doorstep) programme in Bhandara district in the Vidarbha region, Mr. Shinde, in a jibe at the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) said that his tripartite ‘Mahayuti’ government (comprising of Mr. Shinde’s Shiv Sena, Shiv Sena, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party faction) believed that the best response to criticism was through work.
“The Mahayuti government will announce a bonus for paddy crop in the Winter Session to be held in Nagpur next month. We are planning to bring about 8,000 to 10,000 hectare of land under irrigation in the state very soon,” said Mr. Shinde.
