After the mutiny in Shiv Sena, the Mahavikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray collapsed and Eknath Shinde became the Chief Minister. The Mahavikas Aghadi, which had to lose power after completing its two-and-a-half year tenure, is now being given one push after another by the new government. The Shinde-Fadnavis government has canceled another decision taken by the Mahavikas Aghadi government.
The Maharashtra Water Resources Department on Friday decided to cancel tenders for all levels of work that have not started by the Maharashtra Water Conservation Corporation. As a result, new water conservation works worth Rs 5,000 crore have been canceled in the state. Discussions have started that another important work has been postponed after the Shinde government came into existence.
