Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said the budget has shown our grit and determination to serve the people of the state.

Addressing media after the budget presentation, Shinde said, “When the monsoon session commenced on Thursday, opposition termed it as a farewell session. But our budget should be an eye opener. It has shown our steel and resolve as it served each and every segment of the society.”

Shinde’s comments came in the wake of the comments of Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, who had termed the monsoon session as the farewell session of Mahayuti.
