MVA Unveils Empowering Manifesto for Maharashtra Polls

The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has released its manifesto for the upcoming Maharashtra elections, pledging initiatives for women's welfare, caste-based census, and support for farmers and youth. Highlights include free bus travel for women, health insurance, and job opportunities for graduates.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has rolled out its manifesto ahead of the November 20 Maharashtra elections. The agenda promises a slate of social welfare programs, including free cervical cancer vaccines for girls aged 9 to 16 and additional leave for women employees during menstruation.

Notable pledges include a caste-based census, financial aid to women, and safety policies under a 'Nirbhay Maharashtra' initiative. A comprehensive focus on agriculture, employment, urban development, and public welfare forms the spine of the manifesto.

Women's empowerment takes center stage with free bus travel, monthly financial assistance, and a substantial health insurance cover. The MVA aims to reshape industrial policies and improve youth welfare through financial allowances and a proposed Youth Commission.
