Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took a dig at the Opposition ahead of the commencement of the Monsoon Session of the state legislature, claiming that a memorandum submitted by Opposition parties appeared to have been prepared using artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT.
Fadnavis criticised the Opposition for boycotting the customary high-tea meeting convened ahead of the session and instead submitting a six-page memorandum outlining its concerns.
Referring to the memorandum submitted by Opposition leaders, the Chief Minister remarked that its contents appeared to have been generated using artificial intelligence.
He added that it was encouraging to see the opposition embracing technology, but also alleged that the opposition continued to repeat issues that had already been debated and addressed by the government.
The Chief Minister also addressed concerns regarding the state's farm loan waiver programme, asserting that loan waivers were not political tools but measures intended to help farmers regain access to institutional credit.
He said approximately 56 lakh farmers would benefit from the waiver package worth around ₹36,585 crore, making it the largest such initiative undertaken in the state.
The Monsoon Session of the Maharashtra Legislature is scheduled to begin on June 22.
