NCP criticises Maha govt over â¹500-cr loan from temple trust
Nationalist Congress Party has slammed Maharashtra government for taking â¹500-crore interest-free loan from Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust (SSST) to build a canal network for Nilwande dam. NCP leader Dhananjay Munde said seeking loan from temples "shows fiscal bankruptcy" of the government. Funds for irrigation worth â¹28,000 crore are currently lying idle with the state government, Munde claimed.
