In a veiled attack on Uddhav Thackeray, the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena on Tuesday said that Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) for years was known to be a loss-making and never-profitable body. However, the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government has shown that miracles can be done if you are out on the field instead of sitting at home.

While addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Shiv Sena Deputy Leader and State Industry Minister Uday Samant said, "In Maharashtra, sometimes the state transport corporation gets financial help from the Maharashtra government. But in the last two to four years due to a lack of proper attention during the Covid-19 pandemic and before that, this corporation was running at a loss. The state transport corporation did not have enough money to even pay the salaries of its employees. But the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government successfully pulled the state transport corporation out of the losses. The Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government in the state has shown that bringing the state transport corporation into profit even a loss-making corporation can be transformed into a profit-making corporation."
