Maharashtra Farmers Aid Dispute Heats Up

Maharashtra Farmers Aid Dispute Heats Up

In Maharashtra, India, there's a big argument about how much money is being given to farmers who were hurt by heavy rains and floods.

The government says they've given a lot of money, but some people say only a little was given.

A politician named Fauzia Khan said that 766 farmers have died by suicide in the last three months because they're having a hard time.

The government promised to help with a big package of money, but some farmers didn't get the help they needed.

There's also a disagreement about how much farmland was damaged.

The Chief Minister's Office says they've given Rs 61.51 crore from a special fund, but the opposition says only Rs 75,000 was given.

The government is still giving money to farmers, but some people think they're not doing enough.
