Attempt to throw onions at Fadnavis convoy

Deputy Chief Minister of State Devendra Fadnavis was visiting Amravati district today. Meanwhile, militants from Swabhimani Shetkar Sangathan attempted to throw onions at Fadnavis’ convoy. The police administration arrested the activist concerned while announcing the protest of the guardian minister.

The Millet Agricultural Festival has been held in the grounds of Amravati City Science Class from an earlier date. This agricultural festival was organized by the Department of Agriculture and Atma. When Fadnavis, who had come for the same program, left the Cultural Bhavan for the Agricultural Festival after the program ended, Swabhimani Shektar Sangathan workers tried to throw onions at his convoy. But before that, the police arrested him. Due to the vigilance of the police, the efforts of the workers of the peasant organization failed.

Farmers clashed with Agriculture Minister Sattar

State Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar also came yesterday to visit this festival. After talking to the media on this occasion, some farmers asked Minister Abdul Sattar about the price of the onion. What happened to Saheb Kandya’s brother? It’s time to sell onions for less than junk. Last year the price of cotton was 14500, why is it so low now? Many of these questions have been raised by farmers about Minister Abdul Sattar. The Minister of Agriculture said that I will answer all these questions in a speech. We will make all decisions in the interests of farmers. In his speech, he said that the Shinde Fadnavis government is the most capable government in terms of crop yield or price.
