Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday said his government's priority is to work for the common man and it is committed to extending the reservation benefits to the Other Backward Classes, Maratha and Dhangar communities.
Speaking on the country's 76th Independence Day after hoisting the national flag at the State secretariat as the Chief Minister for the first time, Mr. Shinde said several parts of the State have witnessed floods due to heavy rainfall.
“We started working from day one and our priority is to work for the common man, farmers, the working class,” said Mr. Shinde, who was sworn in as the Chief Minister on June 30 this year.
