Farmers at the protest site in Butebori (Nagpur), led by farmer leader Rakesh Ticket, have taken a dig at the 13 unsuccessful meetings held with the central government, expressing their 13-month-long farmers’ struggle..
Due to this, instead of holding short meetings, the Maharashtra government should take a decision on the 19 other demands including the complete loan waiver of farmers and inform the protesting farmers of the decision taken through a press conference and in writing, “these are the strong words of the agitating farmers to the Maharashtra government…
Today, heavy police deployment has been made around the protesting farmers’ places and fire brigade units have also been called. The call has been made.
Farmers, political parties and social organization leaders and office bearers have started expressing their views across the state that the heavy police deployment should not be used to inflict injustice and atrocities on farmers.
Isn’t it appropriate for the Maharashtra government to immediately hold a cabinet meeting to accept all their demands instead of wasting time by holding meetings with the Morcha leadership and taking appropriate and necessary decisions? This question is for the people of Maharashtra.
Isn’t it ridiculous to say that the meeting was canceled because the former Minister of State, former Minister, former MP, who led the farmers’ morcha, did not attend the cabinet meeting in Mumbai today? And isn’t it a misguided act of immature ideology?
It has been reported that thousands of farmers left today in their vehicles to participate in the farmers’ morcha, and their vehicles were stopped by the police at various places.
