What To Expect In The Maharashtra Budget Session?
Following the Governor's address on the first day, a condolence motion will be moved for late Ajit Pawar, with discussions expected to last throughout the day. The session will be the first since the death of former Deputy CM and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash on January 28 in Baramati. His wife, Sunetra Pawar, will make her debut in the legislature as Deputy Chief Minister.
Several issues are set to take center stage in the Budget Session. NCP-SP leader Rohit Pawar conspiracy claims and demand for transparent probe into his uncle's death. Earlier, Vijay Wadettiwar, leader of the Congress Legislative Party, said that they will question the CM on various issues, including the Mumbai Pune expressway traffic, portion of Metro work collapsing in Mulund.
Moreover, issues related to the agriculture department, such as cotton, paddy, onions, and soybeans, will also be debated. Although aid was announced for farmers affected by unseasonal rain last year, it has not yet reached them. Many farmers are yet to receive benefits from the 2017 loan waiver.
As the government faces pressure over Maharashtra’s debt, which is estimated to have crossed Rs 9 lakh crore, it will have to balance spending with efforts to control the fiscal deficit.
Big infrastructure projects are also expected to get funds, incluidng Pune–Nashik high-speed rail corridor, metro rail expansion, development of the proposed Vadhvan Port in Palghar and the Mumbai water metro project. The government is also likely to continue welfare schemes such as the ‘Mukhya Mantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’, which provides Rs 1,500 per month to eligible women.
