Maharashtra: Maharashtra’s acting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde made it clear that we will accept the decision taken by BJP leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Eknath Shinde held a press conference at his residence in Thane some time ago. He made an important announcement in it. At that time he thanked the people of Maharashtra. We took the ideas of Balasaheb Thackeray and carried them forward. I went with the ideas of Anand Dighe.
We were told by Amit Shah and Narendra Modi that we stand behind you like a mountain. They gave us the post of Chief Minister. I used every day, every moment for the good of the state. I thank Modi and Amit Shah. Because I got their support. The pace of development has increased in these two and a half years. I am satisfied with my two and a half years of tenure. The decisions taken in our government are record breaking. Be it journalists, farmers, dear sisters, we solved the problems of everyone. 124 irrigation projects have been constructed during our time. The pace of progress of this state has increased. Eknath Shinde has also said this.
I did not work to gain popularity or to meet the test of anything. So we tried to give what we could as a government. I can say once again that the central government is standing like a mountain. In two to two and a half years, we got lakhs of crores of rupees from the Center. So I will say where has the horse stopped? I am telling you clearly, I am not exaggerating anything. I called Modi and said that if there is any problem in forming the government, then do not bring it to mind because of me. Your decision is final for BJP as well as it is final for us. Eknath Shinde told Modi and Amit Shah that there will be no problem. Eknath Shinde explained that I told them to take your decision.
The rain of votes on us is due to the work done and decisions taken by the Mahagathbandhan government. I have been recognized as the beloved brother of dear sisters in Maharashtra. Dear sisters have recognized who the step brother is. I am satisfied. The identity of being a loving brother of my beloved sisters is bigger than any title for me. Eknath Shinde has said that I am not angry at all, we are not crying, but we are fighters, we are people who fight and work. We went to the people, did not sit at home. Whatever we did, we did it from the heart. Eknath Shinde has also said that I will keep working for the people till the last drop of blood in my body.
