Maharashtra Assembly Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar has questioned the need for the state government to announce an ₹11 crore reward to the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup. "Farmers are in distress...Maharashtra is already under a debt of ₹7.92 lakh crore," he added. Notably, BCCI announced a reward of ₹125 crore for the team after the win.
