Package should be given in crisis, not for polls
Package Should Be Given In Crisis, Not For Polls. Seizing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi\'s poll promise of \'bigger than Rs 50,000-crore\' financial package for Bihar, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said the special package should be extended on priority level to crisis-hit Maharashtra instead of the election-bound state.
Mumbai: Seizing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's poll promise of 'bigger than Rs 50,000-crore' financial package for Bihar, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said the special package should be extended on priority level to crisis-hit Maharashtra instead of the election-bound state.
"We do not have any problem with the financial package for Bihar. He should give it to all the states which need it. But the money needs to be given first where it is needed the most. Today farmers in Maharashtra are committing suicide because of drought. There is no rain here which has distressed farmers. They need help on priority. Special packages should be for crisis situations and not for elections," Thackeray told reporters here.
Modi, while kicking off the NDA's election campaign in Patna today, said politics had hurt the development of Bihar and added that the state would get a package bigger than the Rs 50,000-crore as announced earlier.
