Sanjay Raut urges diverting Kumbh funds for drought relief

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut demanded that ₹35,000-40,000 crore earmarked for Nashik Kumbh Mela infrastructure be diverted to drought-affected farmers in Maharashtra. He also called for halting the Shaktipeeth Expressway project. Several regions including Marathwada and Vidarbha are facing drought-like conditions due to weak monsoon this year.
