Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray alleged Wednesday that farmers received only certificates of loan waiver, but not the actual amount. Addressing a rally at Beed in Maharashtra, Thackeray called a farmer on stage to illustrate the point.

However, the claim, in this particular case, was debunked by cooperation minister and BJP leader Subhash Deshmukh. During his speech, Thackeray called a farmer called Balasaheb Haribhau Solunke on stage, and showed the loan waiver certificate provided to him by the BJP-led state government's 'Aaple Sarkar' portal, handled by the Chief Minister's Office.
