The Maharashtra BJP on Wednesday said that while the Mahayuti ministers and leaders were working alongside farmers affected by the Marathwada floods, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut was "sitting in Mumbai and indulging in empty talk", reported news agency PTI.

When Uddhav Thackeray was the chief minister, "farmers were met on carpets," but the Mahayuti ministers were now standing in the mud alongside them, state BJP media chief Navnath Ban claimed while talking to reporters.
