Members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), comprising the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP), staged a walkout from the state Legislative Assembly as the ruling Mahayuti government failed to state when monthly financial aid under the Ladki Bahin Yojana would be increased from Rs 1500 to Rs 2100.

NCP-SP MLA Rohit Pawar on Wednesday, during the question hour in the House, asked the government to give the specific date when financial assistance provided to women beneficiaries would be increased.
