Maharashtra govt ignoring distressed farmers, pursuing unnecessary projects: Jayant Patil

Senior NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil has slammed the Maharashtra government. He stated that funds are unavailable for distressed farmers. However, the government is proceeding with unnecessary projects. This is happening despite the state's significant debt. Farmers growing mango, cashew, and onions face unseasonal rain and low market prices. Their situation has become pitiable.
