Talking to reporters at the legislative complex, the former chief minister said the 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin' scheme under which a monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 would be given to the eligible women was a "pitiable attempt" to woo women voters ahead of the assembly elections.
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday described the Maharashtra budget as a "torrent of assurances" and a "false narrative" pretending to offer something to every section of society.
Talking to reporters at the legislative complex, the former chief minister said the 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin' scheme under which a monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 would be given to the eligible women was a "pitiable attempt" to woo women voters ahead of the assembly elections.
