Pune, Oct 6 (PTI) NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule on Monday claimed that reports about various schemes being discontinued in Maharashtra indicate the state’s financial condition is weak.

Speaking to reporters in Pune, Sule said she has been highlighting the state’s “poor" financial health for the last one and a half years.

She was responding to reports that the state government’s ‘Anandacha Shidha’ initiative – free ration during Diwali – has been stopped.

“I am not surprised at all. For the last one and a half years, I have been saying that the state’s financial condition is not good, as schemes after schemes are being halted. Last year, the Ladki Bahin Yojana was launched with great fanfare, but today, if you see, 25 lakh beneficiaries’ names have been deleted in the first phase," Sule said.
