Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde cleared 65 files via video conferencing in a day and dismissed claims by the rival Shiv Sena faction that he was “on leave”. The chief minister, who is touring his home district of Satara, virtually cleared 65 files from various departments on Tuesday and gave necessary directives to officials concerned, according to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
Shinde also directed the Relief and Rehabilitation Department to be prepared to extend help to the people affected by the unseasonal rains. Amid claims by the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction that he was on his way out, Shinde told reporters on Tuesday that the reports that he was “on leave” were wrong.
Speaking to reporters at Mahabaleshwar, the CM said he has been reviewing various works, meeting people, and holding meetings with officials since his arrival in Satara district.
