Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “The Cabinet meeting was held at the Smart City office on September 16, last year in view of Amrut Mahotsav year of Marathwada Muktisangram Din. Chief Minister (CM) Eknath Shinde has agreed to hold the cabinet meeting this year also,” said Abdul Sattar, the district guardian minister.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday after a review meeting, he said that the CM and both the Deputy Chief Ministers would make a joint visit to Marathwada in the next few days, but its schedule has not been fixed yet. District collector Deelip Swami was also present at the briefing.
It may be noted that Shinde Sena and BJP leaders had said last month that the Cabinet meeting would not be held this year.
Since Guardian Minister Sattar made a claim about the meeting, the discussions of the Cabinet meeting have started. A package of Rs 45,000 crores was announced last year by CM Shinde.
The divisional administration started collecting information about work done in how many departments. Its preliminary report was submitted to Guardian Minister Sattar.
So, a meeting was held between the Chief Minister and both the Deputy Chief Ministers in Mumbai last week.
