Shinde highlighted his government's financial integrity and commitment to the welfare of citizens, particularly through initiatives like the Ladli Behen Yojana.
In an exclusive interview, Shinde accused Congress of focusing more on taking than giving, contrasting his administration's adherence to financial guidelines with what he described as past inefficiencies. He cited examples from other states where Congress allegedly failed to fulfill electoral promises, differentiating his governance style aimed at genuine public service.
