Election affidavits filed by Maharashtra’s 27 outgoing state ministers reveal substantial asset growth, driven largely by land and property acquisitions. Key ministers, including CM Eknath Shinde, Aditi Tatkare, and Sanjay Rathod, reported sharp increases, while a few are also facing Enforcement Directorate (ED) probes. Public figures call for detailed scrutiny of these disclosures to ensure transparency. Meanwhile, Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha saw a rare asset decline, attributed to increasing liabilities, setting him apart from his peers' upward trends.
