The opposition alliance alleged that the government was merely pretending to provide assistance by setting arbitrary criteria, and warned that if immediate relief was not announced, ministers would not be allowed to move freely across the district. A memorandum demanding that Jalgaon district be declared wet drought-hit was submitted to the district collector on Friday. MVA leaders said that despite the severe damage caused by unseasonal and excessive rainfall, the government was wasting time formulating guidelines instead of acting swiftly to compensate the affected farmers.
