In Arni, Fadnavis promised free electricity for the next five years if the BJP remains in power.

Farmers will not need to pay electricity bills for the next five years. Not only this, solar pumps will also be provided to make them independent for the next 25 years. Farmers demand 24/7 electricity demand “We are setting up the country’s first agricultural power company in Maharashtra, which will generate 14,000 MW using solar energy in the next two years, and farmers will no longer need to risk nights to work on farms,” ​​he said.
Fadnavis added that 90 percent subsidy is given for drip irrigation for optimum use of water. “The payment of PM Kisan Samman Yojana has increased to Rs 12,000. If it is voted back, we will make it Rs 15,000 per farmer. After coming back to power, farmers will be given loan waiver,” he said. After the completion of the country’s largest river linking project, Wainganga-Nalganga, there will be a surplus of water in the region. “One lakh acres will come under irrigation projects. The 550 km river will cover 10 lakh acres of land in Vidarbha,” he said.
