The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday described the Maharashtra budget 2024 as a "torrent of assurances" and a "false narrative" pretending to offer something to every section of society, reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, while talking to reporters at the legislative complex in Mumbai, the former Maharashtra CM 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 scheduled this year.
