The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP SP) leader Supriya Sule on Monday claimed that the suspension of several welfare schemes in Maharashtra is a sign of the state’s deteriorating financial condition.

In a post on X, Sule wrote, "During the tenure of then Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the state government had started distributing the Anandacha Shidha (festive ration kits) on the occasions of Shiv Jayanti, Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti, Gudi Padwa, Ganeshotsav, and Diwali. However, the scheme was not implemented during the last Ganeshotsav, raising questions about whether it was still active."
