'Not Aid But Mockery Of Farmers': Sena (UBT) MLA Kailas Patil Criticises ₹5,000 Assistance To Cultivators Ahead of Diwali

If the government had given assistance to farmers on the day that it declared a drought, then it would have been understandable to call it 'advance assistance',
How can the farmer — who has been devastated by the drought, and whose economic calculations have collapsed due to inflation — celebrate Diwali with a meagre aid of Rs 5,000?"
This Diwali is going to be difficult for farmers. It will be difficult for them to manage during Diwali. Considering this situation, we have discussed and decided to provide assistance to farmers in the coming days. We have decided to give Rs 5,000 to farmers as a Diwali bonus. This amount should reach the farmers' accounts before Diwali. The loan waiver amount is also being credited to their accounts,
