What happened
Supriya Sule, representing Sharad Pawar, criticized the Government of Maharashtra regarding drought relief measures. She stated that while Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced ₹5,000 in advance financial assistance, the government had promised ₹1 lakh per hectare. Sule also claimed that money due under other schemes had not been disbursed to farmers. Sharad Pawar had previously written two letters to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis with suggestions for relief.
