BJP flays MVA govt for ‘blocking’ farm laws

Description

Yavatmal: The district unit of BJP led by Nitin Bhutada and sitting MLA Madan Yerawar on Wednesday set on fire an order issued by marketing minister Balasaheb Patil directing Maharashtra State Cooperative Marketing Federation not to implement the recently-enacted three laws related to farmers. The agitators condemned the Maha Vikas Aghadi government and demanded prompt implementation of the laws for the benefit of the farmers. “Narendra Modi government wants to eliminate middlemen who exploit farmers by procuring their produce at throwaway prices and hence enacted the three laws,” said Bhutada. “Maharashtra government is now shedding crocodile tears by saying the new laws are anti-farmer,” said Bhutada. BJP district office-bearers including Raju Padgilwar, Prashant Yadav Patil, Jitendra Veerdade Patil, Balasaheb Shinde, Kirti Raut, Raju Dange, Maya Shere and others participated in the protests.
