PM Modi also stands with me like a rock.” I will accept the decision of PM Modi and Amit Shah. Mahayuti is strong and we are ready to work together.”

I worked with this in mind. We have to work with the people. We should always work for the progress of Maharashtra. We are happy to work together in our government. People are there. Our popularity has increased in the state. I have always worked for the people of Maharashtra. How can they understand the pain of the poor?”
Acting Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shinde said that we have received immense love and trust from the public in the elections, for this I express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone. We worked very effectively on Ladli Behna Yojana. I have always worked with the spirit of a worker, never considered myself a Chief Minister. Chief Minister means a common man, I worked thinking this. We should always work for the public good. I have seen the difficulties of the citizens and understood how they managed their household.
He further said, “I said that the identity of ‘Pyare Bhai’ is greater than all the titles. I myself had called PM Modi and said that while forming the government, do not think that I will have any problem in taking decisions. You helped us. Given a chance to develop this state, the decision you take will be final for us as well. There will be no problem. I called PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday and expressed my feelings that I would not have any objection to forming the government.”
He said, “I am from an ordinary farmer family, I have seen their sorrows and pains. The topic of mother, wife was presented. How to be thrifty, how to run a monthly household, how to plan, this has been in my mind since the beginning. It was in my mind that the day such authority comes to me, I will have to do something for the common people, my dear sisters, the elderly, the patients.
