Along with DyCMs Devendra Fadnavis (BJP) and Ajit Pawar (NCP), CM Shinde released a report card featuring a brief comparative analysis of the Mahayuti and MVA’s performance in terms of economic growth, urban and rural infrastructure development, foreign direct and local investment, welfare schemes for farmers, women, and various social sectors, public health, employment, government services, and more.

“One needs guts to present a report card. We presented our report card because we have done work that changed lives. We have made the state number one again. In their (MVA) times, the state was pushed down in the ranking,” said Shinde, blaming the Thackeray government for stalling projects. “Metro-3 could begin because we came to power. If they were in power, the project could have taken another 10 years. It was because of their ego that the project cost escalated by R17,000 cr. We could have given more money to our sisters if the money was saved,” Shinde said.
