Uddhav Thackeray targeted the Maharashtra government over the farm loan waiver issue

He alleged that distressed farmers were yet to receive any financial aid despite the government’s claim of announcing the “biggest” relief package

Last month, the Devendra Fadnavis-led government announced a Rs 31,628-crore relief package for farmers whose crops were damaged across 68.7 lakh hectares in 29 districts during the August-September deluge

Uddhav Thackeray claimed that no assistance had yet reached the intended beneficiaries

Thackeray said, “Is demanding a loan waiver and Rs 50,000 per hectare in compensation for farmers a taunt? When my government was in power, we implemented a loan waiver without boasting about it”
