Maharashtra NCP (SP) chief Jayant Patil on Monday criticised the Mahayuti government after it tabled supplementary demands of Rs 57,509 crore in the legislature, claiming the state's fiscal balance has been severely disrupted, reported news agency PTI.

The state's growing financial burden will lead to injustice towards the poor and marginalised communities, he further claimed.

The former Maharashtra finance minister was speaking to reporters on the first day of the state legislature's monsoon session where Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who holds charge of the finance department, tabled supplementary demands of Rs 57,509.71 crore in the assembly to allocate funds for various schemes and projects.
