Former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav has urged the Maharashtra government to take immediate steps to resolve the drought crisis in the state.

Yadav, in an 'open' letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has raised doubts over implementation of MNREGA and "special favours being given to sugarcane lobby" in the state. Prior to sending his letter to Fadnavis, he was on a four-day tour of Maharashtra as a part of 'Samvedna Yatra' of the worst drought affected regions in Nanded, Parbhani, Latur, Beed, Solapur, Osmanabad, Jalna, Aurangabad and Jalgoan.
