Instructions to all banks not to withdraw funds from each other.

Financial benefit transferred from CM-Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana should not be adjusted against any outstanding loan. For this, Chief Minister Shinde also said that he has given strict instructions to all the banks not to withdraw money from the accounts.

Priority will be given to security along with women empowerment.

He said that along with the empowerment of women, their safety is also being given priority and they will demand from the court that the accused in the Badlapur incident should be given the death penalty. He also said that a decision will be taken soon to become a bench for Kolhapur. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the country can develop only if 50 percent of the women in the country are financially empowered and come into the mainstream of the economy. The government is going to make substantial provision in the budget every year so that money will be deposited in the accounts of about two and a half crore women under the Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana by the end of September.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said the government has tried to earn the trust of the women of the state regarding this scheme. The government is working to bring even the last section which is deprived of development into the mainstream and in real sense this government is moving with the thought of Shahu-Phule-Ambedkar.
