Cabinet Clash or Misunderstanding? Dispute Over Fund Allocation in Maharashtra

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut claimed an argument erupted between Finance Minister Ajit Pawar and colleague Girish Mahajan over fund allocation during a state Cabinet meeting. However, Shiv Sena ministers Uday Samant and Shambhuraj Desai denied any disputes, stating the meeting was conducted in a congenial atmosphere.

An alleged argument broke out between Finance Minister Ajit Pawar and his ministerial colleague Girish Mahajan over fund allocation during a state Cabinet meeting, according to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut.

Raut reported that Mahajan was seeking funds for his Rural Development department, prompting Pawar to sarcastically ask if he should sell Maharashtra's land to provide the money.

However, Shiv Sena ministers Uday Samant and Shambhuraj Desai contradicted Raut's claims, asserting that no such dispute took place and that the meeting was held in a playful and collaborative environment.
