Meanwhile, Opposition leader of the Legislative Council Pravin Darekar also visited rain-affected regions in Sangli district. Criticizing MVA Government for not taking timely decisions for the rain-affected farmers Mr Darekar said that instead of directly visiting farmers and giving them relief help, the MVA Government is politicizing the matter.
He also said that at one side the State Government claims that it needs time for overall inspection and confirmation of the farm sector loss due to last week’s heavy rains while on the other side, its leaders blame the Centre for not provinding immediate funds for the farmers.
