Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde has emphasized the role of a "double-engine government" in ensuring development and addressing public issues effectively. Speaking on the political scenario in Delhi and Maharashtra, Shrikant stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the central government is now aligned with the state government, similar to Maharashtra's governance model.
He criticized the previous government at the Centre, claiming that it did not prioritize people's issues. However, with the current leadership, he expressed confidence that the "double-engine government" would work efficiently to bring progress and development to the people of Delhi, just as it has been doing in Maharashtra.
The term "double-engine government" is often used by political leaders to describe the synergy between the state and central governments when ruled by the same party or alliance. Supporters argue that such a system leads to faster decision-making, better coordination, and increased development initiatives.
Shinde’s remarks come at a time when political discussions around governance models and their effectiveness are gaining momentum. With upcoming elections and ongoing policy implementations, the performance of this governance approach will continue to be a focal point of political discourse in the country.
