The Sena, which frequently attacked its alliance partner BJP in the last four and a half years, nevertheless chose to form alliance with the saffron party again ahead of the 2019 general elections. Thackeray said, "When Pawar was agriculture minister why he was not able to resolve issues of farmers and how many relief packages announced by him for the farmers of this region."
"The opponents criticised us that we are not concerned about drought but I want to assure all of you that Sena will definitely provide relief to affected farmers of the region," he added. The Aurangabad constituency will go to polls on April 23 in third phase. (UNI)
