Maharashtra: Farmers call off long march to Mumbai against onion price

Maharashtra: farmers call off long march to Mumbai against onion price

On Friday, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde told the Assembly that onion cultivators will be given a financial relief of Rs 350 a quintal and appealed to them to call off the protest.

Protesting farmers and tribals, who were on their way to Mumbai from Nashik district of Maharashtra, called off their long march on Saturday with their demands being taken into consideration in the state legislature and ground-level officials receiving orders to execute the government's orders, a CPI(M) MLA said. The march had started from Dindori town, located around 195 km away from Mumbai, on March 12 demanding relief of Rs 600 per quintal to onion growers hit by price crash, 12-hour uninterrupted power supply to farmers, and waiver of farm loans. They had reached Thane district's Vasind town, around 80 km from Mumbai.
On Friday, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde told the Assembly that onion cultivators will be given a financial relief of Rs 350 a quintal and appealed to them to call off the protest.
"Our demands have been met. All the demands by the farmers were taken into consideration in the state legislature and collectors and tehsildars have been issued orders. We received calls from our activists that work (implementation of the government order) has begun. So we have decided to call off the march," Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLA Vinod Nikole said.
He said the participants have started heading back to their homes, and the remaining people will leave by Saturday evening or Sunday.

Priyanka reacted to this by calling Amruta "Miss Fad-noise", and added that she doesn't take "designer clothes for promotion" which leads to "messy situations" later.

Maharashtra farmer sets onion crop on fire in protest against govt as prices tumble

The price per kilogram of onion came down to Rs 2 to Rs 4, which angered the growers, who had stopped the auction at the APMC last week for a day.

Distressed by the crash in prices of onions, a farmer in Nashik district of Maharashtra lit a bonfire of the crop in protest against the government's policies and to highlight the plight of growers.
The protest was held on the day of the Holika festival which is marked by the burning of bonfires in Maharashtra.
Onion cultivators are battling a crisis as the prices of the kitchen staple have taken a hit at the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) in Lasalgaon, the largest wholesale onion market in Asia, in Nashik.
The price per kilogram of onion came down to Rs 2 to Rs 4, which angered the growers, who had stopped the auction at the APMC last week for a day.
Krishna Dongre, a farmer from Mathulthan village in Yeola taluka who burnt the onion crop cultivated on one-and-half acres of land, had printed an invitation card announcing the agitation which had gone viral on social media.
"The Union and state governments have left the farmers to their fate. In their power struggle, they do not pay attention to whether the farmer survives or dies. This is a black day not only for Maharashtra but also for the nation as a farmer has been forced to light the bonfire of onions," he said and blamed the policies of the government.
Farmers from nearby villages were present at the protest.
The drop in onion prices has angered farmers in Nashik district as well as in the rest of the state and they are staging agitations.

BJP's Hemant Rasane, while conceding defeat, said he as a candidate failed in this election and will introspect on what went wrong and where.

Maharashtra bypolls: BJP loses Kasba Assembly seat to Congress candidate

BJP's Hemant Rasane, while conceding defeat, said he as a candidate failed in this election and will introspect on what went wrong and where.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday failed to retain Kasba Peth Assembly seat, its stronghold in Maharashtra's Pune district, as Congress candidate Ravindra Dhangekar defeated the saffron party nominee Hemant Rasane in the bypoll.
The BJP was in power in Kasba Peth constituency for 28 years. Girish Bapat, the current BJP MP from Pune, represented the seat five times till 2019. This time, Dhangekar, having support of the Maha Vikas Aghadi comprising the Nationalist Congress Party, Congress and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), managed to breach the BJP's stronghold.
Dhangekar polled 73,194 votes while Rasane received 62,244 votes, as per figures on the Election Commission's website after the final round of counting.
In 2019, BJP's Mukta Tilak had won the seat. She died after battling cancer in December 2022, which necessitated the by-election in the constituency, located in the old area of Pune city.
The victory of Congress in Kasba is significant as it was the first direct contest between the ruling BJP-Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the opposing MVA after the change of the state government in June last year.
"This is people's victory. The day I filled the nomination form, people of Kasba Peth constituency decided to make me victorious," said an elated Dhangekar, who was seen being carried by Congress workers on their shoulders outside the votes counting centre here after the result was declared.
BJP's Rasane, while conceding defeat, said he as a candidate failed in this election and will introspect what went wrong and where.
"Earlier, it used to be a triangular contest, but this time it was a straight fight between the BJP and the Congress," he said.
Congress state vice president Mohan Joshi congratulated the Kasba Peth voters for handing over such a "historical" win to the party and the MVA.
"This is the victory of all the MVA workers who fought this election with great unity. This election has shown that money power cannot work," he said.
During the campaigning, the Congress and other MVA constituents had levelled allegations against the BJP of luring voters with the help of money, a charge denied by the saffron party.
As the bypolls to Kasba and Chinchwad seats in Pune had become an issue of prestige for the MVA as well as the ruling Shinde-BJP coalition in the state, big leaders like NCP president Sharad Pawar, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis campaigned for their respective candidates.

Legislators of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) also wore garlands of onions to protest against the government on 28 February 2023.

Shinde reportedly said, "In a way, it was good that the opposition did not turn for the high tea when some of them have ties with terrorist Dawood Ibrahim."
As per reports, Shinde took a dig at NCP leader Nawab Malik by saying that some Opposition leaders have had ties with Dawood's sister Haseena Parkar.

The bypolls were necessitated by deaths of MLAs Mukta Tilak and Laxman Jagtap, both leaders of the ruling BJP.

First poll battle after EC's Shiv Sena decision: voting in Maharashtra's Chinchwad, Kasba bypolls

The bypolls were necessitated by deaths of MLAs Mukta Tilak and Laxman Jagtap, both leaders of the ruling BJP.

Maharashtra is seeing its first electoral battle after the Uddhav Thackeray faction lost the Shiv Sena name and symbol to the ruling Eknath Shinde camp.
Voting in bypolls to Kasba and Chinchwad Assembly seats began at 7 am on 26 February 2023. The bypolls were necessitated by death of MLAs Mukta Tilak and Laxman Jagtap, both leaders of the ruling BJP.
In Kasba seat, BJP candidate Hemant Rasane is facing Congress' Ravindra Dhangekar. In Chinchwad, BJP's Ashwini Jagtap and Nana Kate of the NCP are engaged in a face-off.
The bypolls are expected to set the tone for civic polls in key cities like state capital Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Aurangabad. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and party leader Ajit Pawar, state Congress president Nana Patole, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and others campaigned in both constituencies over the last 10 days.

Election Commission of India (ECI) on February 17 allotted the party name "Shiv Sena" and the symbol "Bow and Arrow" to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The chief whip of Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) Bharat Gogawale with other MLAs reached Vidhan Bhavan on Monday and gave notice to the Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly Rahul Narvekar asking for the handover of the Shiv Sena legislative party office at Vidhan Bhavan. Gogawale said that the office at Vidhan Bhavan belonged to the Shinde faction after the ECI order.
"We have given a notice to the Speaker. We are following the orders of ECI. We will take a call on how to proceed further. Since ECI has recognised us as Shiv Sena, so this office belongs to us now," he said.

On Uddhav's 'Mogambo' swipe, Maha BJP hits back with 'you have disappeared like Mr India' jibe

On Uddhav's 'Mogambo' swipe, Maharashtra BJP hits back with 'Mr India' jibe

Hitting back at Shah welcoming the EC decision, Thackeray, had, on Sunday, sarcastically said 'Mogambo khush hua', a line the villain in the film often repeats when a plan succeeds.

A day after Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray dubbed Union Minister Amit Shah as "Mogambo", an iconic villain from the 1980s blockbuster film 'Mr India', the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday centred its retort around the film's lead character's ability to disappear.
The EC had, on February 17, recognised the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena and had allotted it the 'bow and arrow' symbol, prompting Shah to claim Thackeray would now know on which side the truth was.
Hitting back at Shah welcoming the EC decision, Thackeray, had, on Sunday, sarcastically said 'Mogambo khush hua', a line the villain in the film often repeats when a plan succeeds.
"Uddhav Thackeray is rushing to label the BJP leadership as Mogambo. What he fails to understand is with such idiotic commentary, he himself is becoming Mr India. You have almost disappeared from Maharashtra politics. You must stay at home," BJP MLA from Mumbai Atul Bhatkhalkar said.
Meanwhile, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar, when asked about such remarks by the media in Akola, said one should happily accept such metaphors in politics.&nbsp;

Maha: Uddhav scales up attack, tells supporters to prepare for polls

"I am not demoralized, and I am banking on your support. You are my strength," Thackeray told his supporters.

&nbsp;A day after the Election Commission recognized the rival faction led by Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday asked his supporters to teach a lesson to the "thief" who stole the party's `bow and arrow' symbol.
Addressing party workers outside the Thackeray residence `Matoshree' in suburban Bandra from a car with sunroof, he said they should start preparing for elections.
Assembly elections are due in Maharashtra in October 2024. But the EC decision, which deprived Uddhav of the control of the party founded by his father late Bal Thackeray in 1966, came at a time when elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and some other municipal corporations are long due.
Civic elections in Mumbai are very crucial as the cash-rich BMC has been the bastion of the Shiv Sena for more than two decades.
"I am not demoralized, and I am banking on your support. You are my strength," Thackeray told his supporters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should know that they will never be able to finish off the Shiv Sena despite using the state machinery which has become their slave, he said.
''Are you scared? I have nothing to give you now," he asked the gathering.
His supporters shouted back that they were not, and asked him to give directions for the next move.
''We should not rest till we teach the thief a lesson in elections. Start preparing for elections immediately," said Thackeray who had to resign as Maharashtra Chief Minister last June after Eknath Shinde and a majority of Sena MLAs rebelled against his leadership.

Officials said that the cat tried a daring manoeuvre by jumping on the leopard's back to escape, but failed. In the morning, when a farmer noticed the animals inside the well, the forest department was called.
The cat was extricated in a basket, while a cage was lowered into the well to bring the leopard out. The wild feline was taken to the Mohdari Malegaon forest park.
