Instead, 10 lakh talented students will receive ₹10,000 per month, and 45,000 villages get infra developments. Shah also announced insurance and an increment of wages up to ₹15,000 per month for ASHA and Anganwadi workers. He stated clearly that the manifesto will regard Maharashtra's traditional values and the rich cultural heritage. Shah attacked opposition alliance parties, saying that they were substituting power for principles, which was hollowing out Maharashtra's glorious legacy. He claimed that "when the UPA regime was in place, all sorts of neglect befell Maharashtra, but with the 'double-engine government' of the BJP, the state received an almost five-fold increase in funds and emerged at the head of FDI inflows.

He also reacted to claims that the BJP was trying to brake their alliances, where he said it was Uddhav Thackeray's faction that fractured because they went against the principle of the party for family interests. Shah's statements framed the BJP manifesto as the definitive answer to the needs of Maharashtra and positioned the party well in the run-up for elections.
