Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Wednesday that the flow of funds to local governing bodies increased more than three times after his government came to power in 2014. In the last four years, his government gave Rs 21,000 crore to local bodies, he said.
The chief minister was speaking in Beed district. "We have adopted a proactive approach, having a better tuning with local bodies, and increased the flow of funds to Rs 21,000 crore from the earlier Rs 6,500 crore. Beed district alone received Rs 495 crore," Fadnavis said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has gained control of several local bodies in the state in the last four years. Fadnavis laid the foundation stone of a 100-bed mother & child care centre which would be coming up at a cost of Rs 21.5 crore at Beed under the National Rural Health Mission.
He also inaugurated Late Gopinath Munde Hall at Beed Municipal Council and a shelter home built by the civic body.
