Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari got here under fire from 1000’s of farmers protesting in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan to repeal three farm legal guidelines after he left for Goa as a substitute of receiving the delegation that was to fulfill him on Monday afternoon.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar slammed Mr. Koshyari saying that he has time to fulfill Kanagna Ranaut however not farmers whereas the farmer leaders stated that the governor’s motion of holidaying in Goa as a substitute of assembly farmers come as no shock since he was a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief up to now and stays Rashtriya Swayamsevak sangh (RSS) pracharak, even as we speak.
The Governor’s workplace issued an announcement on late Monday night claiming it had knowledgeable the organisers of the farmers’ march on January 24 that Mr. Koshyari can be leaving for Goa to handle the legislative session there which was to be began from Monday itself. The Governor can be in Mumbai on January 26 and attend the flag-hoisting ceremony on the occassion of Republic Day at Dadar’s Shivaji Park.
“You, the farmers, want to meet governor to submit your letter of demand. But Maharashtra never witnessed a Governor like the present one. He has already gone to Goa. This Governor has time to meet Ms. Ranaut but not time to meet farmers,” stated Mr. Pawar, in his handle to the farmers’ rally on Monday.
The NCP chief added that it was the ethical duty of Maharashtra Governor to be there in Raj Bhavan. “The farmer, the working class was to come to meet him. It was expected that he face them. But he has no dignity,” stated Mr. Pawar.
The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) president Ashok Dhawale criticised the Governor saying holidaying in Goa as a substitute of assembly farmers show his priorities. “But it isn’t surprising since he was a BJP leader and RSS pracharak,” he stated.
Thousands of farmers and employees from totally different components of the State had gathered on the Azad Maidan since Sunday night time they usually have been to fulfill Mr. Koshyari with a requirement letter on Monday afternoon by taking out a march at his residence.
The Mumbai Police denied the permission to take out a march barricading the protesters close to Metro theatre and requested the delegation of 20 leaders to return to the Raj Bhavan. “We have decided that we are not interested in meeting the Secretary of the Governor. This Governor has insulted Maharashtra. We tear the demand letter from this stage instead of giving it to his office,” stated Mr. Dhawale.
