Fadnavis govt apathetic towards farmers' woes, claims Pawar; warns of intensifying stir
NAshik, NCP chair Sharad Pawar on mon accused Maharashtra Chief government minister Devendra Fadnavis of beingness negligent towards the troth of farmers and warned the Opposition will intensify its protest to draw the government's attention towards the "agrarian crisis". Pawar led an 'Akrosh Morcha' organised by his party in Nashik to highlight the hardship of farmers. Accompanied by several NCP leaders and workers, Pawar participated in the protest in an open jeep. The party demanded that the government declare a wet drought and complete loan waiver for farmers. NCP working president and Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule said if the government doesn't announce loan waiver in a month, the party will not let ministers move around in the state. Addressing a rally here, Pawar said, "We have seen posters all over the media of Devabhau folding hands before Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He should follow the path of the legendary warrior king who ensured farmers didn't have trouble." The former state chief minister warned that the morcha organised by his party on Monday was just a beginning. "Devabhau...look around and see what's happening. In Nepal, people overthrew a government which failed to meet their aspirations," he pointed out. The former Union minister alleged the Maharashtra government was indifferent to the plight of farmers. Farmers are not getting adequate price for their crops and there is a ban on exports, he claimed, without elaborating. "Debt is the biggest malaise that farmers face, and there should be a solution to this problem," Pawar said. "If the government continues to turn a blind eye to the agrarian crisis, the suicides, which are in thousands, may go to lakhs, and we can't be mute spectators," he said. During the protest, the NCP leaders also sought an appropriate minimum support price for onion, grapes and other crops. "Maharashtra has given ₹2 lakh crore to the national treasury in the form of GST in the last eight years. Why can't the government give ₹35,000 crore for loan waiver?" NCP general secretary Rohit Pawar asked. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
