After Maharashtra govt announced Rs 11 crore prize money for the Indian Cricket Team, Maharashtra Assembly LoP Vijay Wadettiwar questioned the government and asked “what was the need” and said that law and order of the state have gone out of control. “... In the last 4 months, 1068 farmers have committed suicide. It would have been good had they given money to the distressed farmers. They gave such a huge sum to the Indian Cricket Team, what was the need?... Team India played for the country and not themselves, this is why the streets were flooded to welcome them... The future of youth is in danger, the farmers are in distress and they are giving away huge sums of money... Maharashtra is already under a debt of Rs 7.92 lakh crores and they are going to spend another Rs 1 lakh crore for the Ladli Bahan Yojana... Law and order of the state have gone out of control... The youth has been put at risk because of drugs... They are busy bringing in money and forming governments...” said Vijay Wadettiwar.
