Thackeray Criticises Fadnavis Government Over Delayed Crop Loss Assessment

Targeting Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, Thackeray questioned why the formal crop‑damage assessment (panchanama) was postponed beyond the October 5 deadline. He warned that farmers are facing death, with fields burnt, livestock feed exhausted and families drowning in debt, yet the government insists the evaluation will start later.
