Notably, Opposition parties have accused the Centre of harbouring anti-Maharashtra bias in the annual Budget and favouring NDA allies, TDP and JD (U)

Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis rejected the opposition's charge on Tuesday and claimed "substantial allocations" were earmarked for the state in the annual financial statement
