NCP leader Jayant Patil sharply criticized the Maharashtra government's new AI agriculture policy as premature, accusing officials of prioritising events over implementation. He highlighted unspent Rs 500 crore, administrative delays, infrastructure gaps in Gadchiroli, Bhamragad and Palghar, and data protection concerns. Patil urged practical AI uses, praised KVK Baramati pilots, and called for a dedicated committee to ensure farmer benefits.
