Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday expressed satisfaction with his government’s handling of the recently concluded three-week-long monsoon session of the state legislature, during which 16 bills were passed. Speaking to reporters after both houses were prorogued in the evening, Fadnavis also accused the opposition of adopting a "shoot and scoot" approach, reported news agency PTI.
He reaffirmed the Mahayuti government’s commitment to providing a loan waiver to farmers, stating, “A loan waiver is a short-term measure. We have set up a committee to suggest long-term solutions to resolve agricultural stress and bring farmers out of debt.”
Highlighting the key outcomes of the session, Fadnavis mentioned the passing of several important bills. These include a special public security bill aimed at tackling Left-wing extremism, legislation granting statutory status to the SC/ST Commission, bills to establish separate authorities for the Nashik Kumbh Mela and for mining in Gadchiroli, and a measure to bring narcotics offences under the stringent anti-organised crime law MCOCA.
