The Congress on Friday termed as false the BJP-Shiv Sena Maharashtra government's claim that its Rs 34,000 crore loan waiver to 89 lakh farmers was the largest ever in the country.
The opposition party claimed that 50 per cent of those entitled to waiver were yet to get benefits.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, while launching the scheme, had called it the biggest in the country.
Addressing a press conference, Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said, "The government announced a loan waiver scheme named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. However, 27 months after it was announced, several lakh farmers have been left out."
