Mumbai: Mounting an attack on the BJP-led Maha Yuti, NCP (SP) leader and Baramati MP Supriya Sule on Friday said that the ruling allies are engaged in a banner war for taking credit.
"There is a banner war in the Maha Yuti today. Who takes credit for what, using which photo, is being seen through the Maha Yuti’s banner war," she said hitting out at the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP alliance.
"How many engines does the Maha Yuti have? Sometimes it’s a double-engine sarkar, sometimes it’s a triple-engine sarkar," Sule said about the government led by chief minister Eknath Shinde and two deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.
The observations of Sule, the party's working president and daughter of NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar, came in Pune.
In the Lok Sabha polls, the NCP (SP) contested 10 seats and won eight out of the posting the best success rate in the state.
On the Mukhya Mantri Mazi Ladki Bahin Yojana, she said: "It is a welcome the move, but in the face of inflation, unemployment, and corruption, how far will 1,500 rupees really go for the women of Maharashtra?...Have you thought about the cost of dal? About the cost of aata? I invite you to come with me to the kirana wala to see if a month’s worth of supplies can be bought for Rs 1,500."
Sule added that said she met Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari about Baramati roads, and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw about the railway projects, as well as Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal about milk and onion imports and exports.
"All 8 MPs from the NCP (SP) raised their voices in Parliament about Maharashtra’s development. The MVA also met ministers together to solve Maharashtra’s most pressing problems," she said.
