Bhujbal defends Mahayuti on funds transfer for Ladki Bahin
Nashik: Former deputy CM and NCP politician
Chhagan Bhujbal
on Saturday defended state govt's decision on fund allocation, saying funds from the tribal development department were temporarily utilised for the
Mukhya Mantri Mazhi Ladki Bahin Yojana
but were later reinstated, ensuring no issues for anyone.
"I have read in newspapers that funds were transferred for the Ladki Bahin scheme. What usually happens is that govt draws money from various departments to manage priorities, and as the income grows, the funds are reinstated to those departments or schemes concerned," Bhujbal said while speaking to mediapersons in Nashik.
"It is easy for us to criticise, but management is a skill. Secretaries of the various departments jointly decide and manage the movement of funds, ensuring everybody gets what they want," the NCP leader said.
In response to a question, Bhujbal expressed surprise over
Nashik District Central Cooperative Bank
administrator Pratapsinh Chavan offering to resign when the bank was in deep trouble. "There are media reports about some minister announcing a stay on recovery from defaulters. In Mumbai, there was a meeting, in which more concessions were discussed for the defaulters. The administrator, I think, was of the view that this would affect the recovery process and the very existence of the bank facing strict action from RBI. Govt should have let him function as per the norms," Bhujbal said.

State agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate directed a stay on actions against defaulting farmers at a meeting in the district collectorate. Deputy CM Ajit Pawar chaired a meeting in Mumbai to discuss potential additional concessions for farmers. Bhujbal, who was also guardian minister during the preparation for the
Simhastha Kumbh Mela
held in 2015, said there was hardly any time left for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. He expected that govt would only stress on the maintenance and upgrade the infrastructure as a part of the preparation for the Kumbh Mela to be held in 2026-28.
"Large infrastructure, including roads and ghats, was created last time. Its upgrade and maintenance is required now. The administration and govt should move fast to create the system to handle the crowd," Bhujbal added.
