We took decisions such as granting a 50 per cent concession to women in MSRTC bus travel and free travel to senior citizens (above 75). I hope this government will fulfil all your expectations," he added. He said an aid of ₹10,000 crore has been given to farmers.

"With the 'Namo Shetkari Yojana', we gave ₹12,000 ( ₹6,000 by the state govt and ₹6,000 by the Centre) to farmers. With the 'Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana', we will fulfil the demand for electricity supply during the day," Fadnavis added. Fadnavis invoked Lord Ram while speaking about the government programme as Nashik houses the famous temple of the deity.

“The government has not come to your doorstep only but also in the court of Lord Ram. Nashik is a land of Kumbh Mela. This programme is a Kumbh Mela itself.

It allows us to serve you as part of our effort to take the government to the last person. Notably, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was on Friday allocated the key Finance and Planning portfolio, which was earlier held by Fadnavis, while some of the eight other NCP leaders who joined the state cabinet with him a fortnight ago were also given important portfolios like cooperation and agriculture.
