Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde along with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis met a delegation of farmers on Thursday. Shinde had said that the talks with the farmers were fruitful. He had said that he would make a statement on this issue in the state assembly on Friday.

Onion price has come down significantly

Let us tell you that the farmers of Maharashtra are angry with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde because of the falling price of onions. They are demanding the government to buy onions on MSP. Along with this, they are also demanding compensation for the crops destroyed due to rain and hailstorm. This is the reason why the farmers have opened a front against the government to get their demands accepted. Thousands of farmers from different districts of the state are reaching Mumbai on foot. But after getting the assurance from the government, the farmers stopped their march.

Actually, the rate of onion in Maharashtra has fallen below Rs.800 a quintal. In such a situation, it has become difficult for the farmers to extract the cost. Many farmers had burnt onion only on Holi. Along with this, many farmers had thrown potatoes on the roads. Although, the government has announced to buy potatoes from the farmers, but even then the farmers are not happy.
