Despite rising revenue deficit, Maharashtra govt presents supplementary demands worth Rs 57,609 crore
Despite fears of rising fiscal and revenue deficits, the Maharashtra government tabled supplementary demands of Rs 57,509.71 crore in the Legislative Assembly Monday to allocate funds for various schemes and projects. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who also holds the Finance portfolio, presented these demands on the first day of the three-week Monsoon Session, with an eye on the upcoming civic body polls and infrastructure projects. Supplementary demands refer to the additional funds required for various schemes, programmes, and projects beyond what is allocated in a budget. During the Maharashtra Budget session in March 2025, Pawar tabled supplementary demands worth Rs 6,480.20 crore. The Opposition questioned the move, citing the deteriorating financial condition. 'The state already has a revenue deficit of Rs 45,890 crore. With the additional supplementary demands of Rs 57,609.71 crore, the total revenue deficit will rise above Rs 1 lakh crore.

BJP slams RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for his remarks on Waqf (Amendment) Act
Jun 30, 2025 01:12 PM IST The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday slammed Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav for his remarks on the Waqf (Amendment) Act and for accusing the ruling dispensation of disrespecting the constitution framed by BR Ambedkar. BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said the socialism of the RJD and SP cannot be called socialism at all. (PTI) 'These parties, RJD, Samajwadi Party (SP), etc, use the garb of socialism, but do not stand up for the rights of the poor and oppressed Muslims. Therefore, the socialism of RJD and SP cannot be called socialism at all. If it is called 'Namazvad', then it will not be an exaggeration,' said BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi. He slammed Yadav, the leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, for protesting against the Waqf Amendment Act. Trivedi said the law was passed by Parliament, and opposing the same is being done to appease a section of people. 'I want to tell the people of Bihar that there are two options. The INDI[A] alliance, which will try to implement sharia through the back door if it comes to power, and the other is our government, which will remain committed to protecting Baba Saheb's constitution,' Trivedi said. He accused the RJD of pursuing vote bank politics.
