"The Mahayuti government has talked about and done work for respect for farmers, helping the poor, and on upholding the self-respect of women. The 'Sankalp Patra' released here today is a reflection of the aspirations of the people of Maharashtra," Shah said.

"In a way, Maharashtra has been leading the country in every field for many ages. Once upon a time, when there was a need, the Bhakti movement also started in Maharashtra, the movement for freedom from slavery was also started by Shivaji Maharaj from here, and the social revolution also started from here and the reflection of the aspirations of the people of Maharashtra is seen in our Sankalp Patra," he added.

The Home Minister further added the BJP's promise to make India the third-largest economy by 2027.

Hitting out at the opposition alliance, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Shah said, "On the other side there is Aghadi, even Congress leaders have to say that they should make promises after thinking a lot because they promise and then answer later."

"There is Himachal, Telangana, Karnataka, in all of these states they have not fulfilled their promises. Everyone believes in the promises of Mahayuti," he said.

As the elections for 288 seats in the Assembly approached closer, political battle between the two big alliances - Mahayuti and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) picked up pace.

Polling will take place on November 20 and counting on November 23.

Opposition MVA consists of Congress, Uddhav Thackeray led Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar led Nationalist Congress Party (SCP).
