He also criticized the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for instability and emphasized the importance of a stable government.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that government is working for sugarcane farmers in the country and also emphasizes on ethanol sector.
Addressing an election rally in Solapur, he said, “Our government is working for sugarcane farmers in the country. Through the ethanol economy, we are making new avenues of earnings for sugarcane farmers. Did ethanol technology come after Modi became PM? No. It was there earlier too but the previous government ignored it. Today, ethanol blending in petrol has increased to 15 per cent. The aim is to reach the target of 20 per cent. In the last 10 years, we have given Rs 80,000 crore to sugarcane farmers through ethanol purchase,”.
He attacked the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, saying its vehicle has no wheels or brakes” and there is fight over who will drive it. PM Modi said Maharashtra needs a stable Mahayuti government for the next five years and alleged that MVA’s vehicle “is most unstable”.
“Its only goal is its development. Only a stable government can make long-term policies. Keep in mind that Maha Aghadi is riding a vehicle with no wheels or brakes, and they are fighting with each other to drive it,” he said.
He said Mahayuti government is working day and night to empower women.
“Everyone is talking about Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. It is an example of our commitment towards women. But Maha Vikas Aghadi went to the court to make sure that women do not get this…Today, we are keeping women at the centre of all welfare schemes of the government. We are working on the mission to make three crore women ‘Lakhpati didi’”, PM Modi said.
Campaigning has intensified for the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra with both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) making efforts to woo the electorate.
The polls are scheduled for November 20 and counting will be held on November 23.
