Under the leadership of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Shiv Sena is launching a special campaign to attract women voters for the upcoming assembly elections. The campaign, named “Tai, Mai, Akka,” aims to engage the women's vote bank by highlighting the decisions and initiatives taken by the state government for women.
As part of the "Tai, Mai, Akka" mission, the Shinde faction will promote the CM Ladki Bahin Yojana (Chief Minister's Dear Sister Scheme) through women’s gatherings at the district and taluka levels across Maharashtra. This scheme has received a positive response, with over 1.8 crore applications submitted so far. Shiv Sena district chiefs have been instructed to widely promote this initiative.
The first women's rally under this mission will take place in Sillod on Friday. Following this, similar gatherings will be organized at the district and taluka levels. With the assembly elections just months away, this campaign aims to reach households across the state.
