The tenure of the Maharashtra assembly ends in November this year, and polls are likely to be held in October-November.

“The cabinet also cleared the proposal to expand the uninterrupted power supply scheme to more farmers in the state. They would get supply during the day.

The state government would raise Rs 5000 crore under Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology Ltd for an ambitious project in Thane district, he said.

Thane is the home turf of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The revenue relief in force for land owned by BJP Lok Sabha member and royal scion Udayanraje Bhosale will continue for his successors as well, as per a decision cleared by the cabinet, the official added.
