Shiv Sena (UBT) Labels Maharashtra's Rs 5,000 Farmer Relief as 'Fraudulent Gimmick'

Shiv Sena (UBT) has publicly denounced the Maharashtra government's Rs 5,000 relief scheme for farmers as a fraudulent gimmick. The party argues that the amount is insufficient to address the severe drought conditions affecting large swaths of the state. "The relief is a sham designed to placate farmers without delivering real support," the UBT spokesperson said. Shiv Sena demands a thorough audit of the relief distribution and calls for a more comprehensive plan that truly meets farmers' needs.
