TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ The Shiv Sena today attacked the Maharashtra government over the farmers’ stir, accusing it of creating fissures among them in an attempt to break their unity. Similar tactics were used to crush the Maratha stir as well in the past, the Sena charged.
“Had the demands of farmers been accepted, they would have showered the CM with flowers. But some people in the government took (Minister of State for Agriculture) Sadabhau Khot with them and tried to break farmers unity,” the Sena said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
“A divide and rule policy is being used. Leaders who went to ‘Varsha’ (to hold talks with the CM at his residence) need to answer if any of their demands were met,” it said. Farmers in Maharashtra had launched their stir on June 1 pressing for their various demands, prominent being waiving loans due to crop failures and indebtedness, and guaranteed MSP.
“The CM says 35-40 lakh farmers will be benefited with the loan waiver. But can he answer what about those farmers in Marathwada who have a land holding of more than two hectares and are dependent on rains ?” the Sena questioned.
