NCP leader Ajit Pawar said the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) guarantee to offer ₹3,000 per month to women is a bluff. "If they claim to give ₹3,000 per month to women, the expenditure may reach ₹90,000 crore. How will they manage salaries, pensions, and interest on loans?" Pawar questioned. The alliance also promised free bus rides for women in Maharashtra.
