Intellectual Bankruptcy: UBT Slams Farmers' Diwali Aid

Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) today slammed the Mahayuti government led by Devendra Fadnavis over its ₹5,000 Diwali aid for farmers and ₹2,000 for Anganwadi workers, calling it an insult amid inflation and drought. In 'Saamana', the party accused the government of repackaging advance funds as relief and mocking rural Maharashtra's hardships.
