NCP MP Supriya Sule has alleged that Maharashtra government's 'anti-farmer' policies and failure to provide adequate remunerative prices for agricultural produce have broken the backbone of farmers. "Because of the anti-farmer policies of the government and not providing adequate remunerative prices for their agricultural produce like onion, soyabean and pulses, the backbone of the farmers has been broken," Sule said.
She was addressing public meetings at Yeola and Atgaon here on Wednesday ahead of the elections to Nashik Municipal Corporation, panchayat samiti and zilla parishad. Criticising the demonetisation, she said, "The Modi government at the Centre took votes in 2014 and 'notes' in 2017."
