Speaking to ANI, Shinde said that the upcoming Assembly election will be a record-breaking one.

Daughter-in-law of CM Shinde and wife of Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, Vrushali Shrikant Shinde emphasised the work done by the ruling government in the state exuding confidence that CM Shine will win the elections.
“Women themselves are stepping forward and saying that he (CM) is their brother and he has done something for them. They get Rs 1500 per month in their own accounts, so they think about what they can do with that money. Besides this, a 50 per cent discount has been provided on State Transport buses. So, that too is an advantage for women,” she said.
“There has been growth – be it roads or metro, they are all very important for people in this era…Together, how this Government has worked, had never happened before. This is happening for the first time in 2.5 years…You can see the love of people, he (CM Shinde) will win 100%. There is no doubt about it,” Vrushali added.
