Osmanabad, Oct 20 (UNI) Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday slammed the Maha Vikas Aghadi(MVA) government over the issue of crops damaged by rains, but also balanced his criticism saying that "this is not the time for politics".
Talking to mediapersons here while touring the rain-hit areas, the former CM demanded that the ruling parties should show sensitivity over the issue and declare immediate help to the farmers, keeping politics aside.
He recounted how the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar had argued that the relief of Rs 10,000 wasn't sufficient for the farmers when rains damaged crops during his tenure as the caretaker CM last year.
