Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Friday slammed the state government and accused them of spending crores of rupees on Aurangabad cabinet meeting and rubbing salt on the wounds of those affected by the drought-like situation in Marathwada.

Patole, according to the PTI report, was talking about the cabinet meeting scheduled to be held in Aurangabad on September 16. Patole alleged that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, ministers and other officials will be lodging at a five-star hotel on taxpayers’ money.
