Marathwada Liberation Day: Opposition cries foul, calls out expenditure by Shinde government

Ahead of the special cabinet meeting occasioned by the Marathwada Liberation Day celebrations, the Eknath Shinde-led government on Saturday was called out by the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, particularly the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) faction on Friday, as they criticised the ruling coalition for failing to implement past promises for the Marathwada region.

The MVA parties – the Sena (UBT), the Congress and the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) – also ticked-off the Shinde government for the lavish expenditure on the special cabinet meet which is to be held in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, formerly Aurangabad.

As per sources, developmental packages to the tune of ₹40,000 crore are to be announced at the cabinet meeting to take place in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. This will be the first time a cabinet meet is taking place in the region after a period of seven years.
