On Sunday, Indian Home Minister Amit Shah visited the Sai Baba temple in Shirdi, Maharashtra. The minister prayed at the shrine, posted a short message on X wishing “happiness and prosperity for everyone,” and then moved on to another key task in the district.
Shah opened a new sugar‑manufacturing project and unveiled life‑size statues of famous cooperative leaders Padma Shri Vithalrao Vikhe Patil and Padma Bhushan Balasaheb Vikhe Patil. The ceremony made sense—Shah was in Ahilyanagar to meet people working in the cooperative sector and to boost local industry.
The chief minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, and other state officials welcomed him when he arrived in Shirdi on Saturday evening. On the rides, Shah used the trip to talk about India’s “Swadeshi” movement. He told crowds that the new tax cuts—lower income‑tax thresholds and smaller GST rates—will drive the country toward becoming a top‑tier economy.
While speaking at a Bastar Dussehra celebration in Chhattisgarh, Shah said that if India’s 140 million‑strong population embraces Swadeshi, nothing can stop the nation from becoming the world’s leading economic system. He also highlighted the government’s Aatmnirbhar Bharat (Self‑Reliant India) plan, praising its role in boosting manufacturing, making business easier, and tackling unemployment.
At a rally in Goa’s Bambolim, Shah charted how Aatmnirbhar has attracted global manufacturers to India, and how removing the 12‑lakh‑rupee income‑tax bar lifts the purchasing power of many households—especially women. Overall, he urged voters to keep their fingers on the pulse of the new tax regime and to continue supporting initiatives that build a stronger, self‑reliant India.
