The state government is ready to spend as much as `2,625 crore to tackle the drought-like situation in the various talukas. Relief and rehabilitation minister Patangrao Kadam on Wednesday made this announcement in the legislative Assembly.
“The government is with the people of the state and will ensure that it helps people,” said the minister. Around 38 MLAs participated in the discussion and some of these MLAs made allegations that the government was biased toward Western Maharashtra while problems in Vidarbha, Marathwada and northern Maharashtra were being neglected. Mr Kadam, however, denied the allegations.
