"People don't expect politics during such a crisis. We are doing all that is needed to help people and farmers," he told reporters when asked about Thackeray's remarks on the government's "step-motherly treatment" to Marathwada. "It is laughable that Thackeray should say this. Some parties want to indulge in politics," he charged. To a question on demands that a wet drought be declared in the state, Fadnavis said, "It is not a question of wet drought. We are doing all that is needed as per the rules to provide relief."
