Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on June 27 demanded from the Maharashtra government a complete waiver of farm loans and its implementation before state assembly polls scheduled later this year.
Addressing a press conference here, he also termed the monsoon session of the state legislature that commenced on Thursday as the "send-off" session of the Mahayuti government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
"There should be a complete waiver of farm loans immediately and this should be implemented before the state polls," Thackeray said.
The state government will present its budget on Friday.
Taking a swipe at the Centre and the state government, Thackeray said these two dispensations are "leakages government", a reference to the NEET exam and reports of water leak at the Ayodhya Ram temple.
