Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended the police lathi charge at Jantar Mantar, calling it a necessary step to curb chaos during the NEET leak demonstrations.
He affirmed that the government supports constitutional rights to protest, provided the rallies are authorised and non‑violent.
He announced that the agricultural loan-waiver scheme will publish its first beneficiary list on the late Ajit Pawar's birth anniversary.
