In a significant development, the Maharashtra government has appointed Independent MLA Bachchu Kadu as the chairperson of the state-level committee for the Divyang Welfare Department. Notably, Kadu has been granted the rank of a cabinet minister, marking a significant milestone in his political career. Details regarding the same were published in the Indian Express.
Kadu's Longstanding Lobbying Efforts Bear Fruit
Bachchu Kadu, the founder of the Prahar Janshakti Party, has persistently advocated for a cabinet position since the formation of the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government in June 2022. His unwavering efforts have finally paid off, leading to his appointment as the chairperson of the Divyang Welfare Committee.
Former Minister's Role in Political Realignment
Kadu's political journey saw him serving as a minister in the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. However, he later joined forces with the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde, resulting in the collapse of the MVA government. This decision played a crucial role in his subsequent elevation to the prestigious position he holds today.
Maharashtra Government's Commitment to Divyang Welfare
Recognizing the challenges faced by approximately 30 lakh Divyangs, who often struggle to access government support and voice their concerns, the Maharashtra government has launched the "Divyang Welfare Ministry at the doorstep of Divyangs" campaign. This initiative aims to provide effective assistance and address the grievances of individuals with physical disabilities.
State-Level Committee Established for Divyang Welfare Mission
As part of their commitment to improving the lives of Divyangs, the Maharashtra government has formed a state-level committee responsible for spearheading the Divyang Welfare Department's initiatives. The committee will be headed by Bachchu Kadu, who brings a wealth of experience and determination to the role.
Kadu's Vision for Inclusive Welfare
Expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for their trust and support, Bachchu Kadu emphasized the importance of extending welfare schemes to Divyangs across Maharashtra. He pledged to actively engage with Divyangs in every district, aiming to understand their unique needs and challenges.
A Personal Commitment to Serve Divyang Brothers and Sisters
In his new role, Kadu envisions an expanded presence of the Divyang Welfare Department in every district, ensuring comprehensive support for Divyangs. Grateful for the opportunity to work for the betterment of his Divyang brothers and sisters, he pledged to personally visit each district in Maharashtra to contribute to their welfare and uplift their lives.
By appointing Bachchu Kadu as the chairperson of the state-level committee for the Divyang Welfare Department, the Maharashtra government showcases its dedication to inclusivity and the well-being of its citizens. This move reaffirms their commitment to address the needs of Divyangs and provide them with the support they require to lead fulfilling lives.
