He highlighted the work done by the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra, saying all the schemes initiated by their government have already been launched.
"Our work is swift, not slow and sluggish. All the schemes we have initiated have been launched quickly. Those who talk slowly later say there's no money.

The opposition has tried to halt many schemes, but I want to say that no scheme will be stopped," CM Shinde stated.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the BJP's win in the Haryana assembly elections, he said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the country like a fighter on the global stage; one Modi is heavier than all.
