Our Shiv Sena is committed to providing employment opportunities to the youth and empowering them to become independent. In contrast, the ‘khokhe sarkar’ (mocking the ruling party) has reversed the progress symbolised by ‘Mulgi Shikli, Pragati Zhali’ (girls’ education spells progress),” said Uddhav Thackeray, chief of Shiv Sena (UBT), while addressing the youth at a mega job fair organised by his party on Saturday. Mocking the Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) further, Thackeray said, “They are instead handing out Rs 1,500 to girls/sisters and leaving them sitting at home.”

With an eye on the upcoming assembly elections, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) organised a mega job fair, putting the spotlight on unemployment in Maharashtra. Thackeray attributed the alleged “unemployment crisis” to the “miserable failure” of the Mahayuti Alliance government currently in power.
