Sharad Pawar launches scathing attack on Maha Governor; says he has time to meet Kangana Ranaut, but not farmers


Nationalist Congress Party Chief Sharad Pawar, on Monday, joined the farmers protest against farm laws at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan and said that Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had time to speak to Kangana Ranaut but he had no time for farmers. Also, he asked the Centre to revoke the farm laws and said that many swift discussions with farmers could happen then.

Ahead of the Republic Day, farmer unions across the state staged a three-day protest against farm laws. NCP Supremo and Rajya Sabha Member Pawar, supported the protest along with Maha Vikas Aghadi as a whole. The protest was organised under his leadership to support the on-going farmers protest at the Delhi-Haryana border.
Pawar spared no chance in calling out Centre and said, This government is trying to destroy farmers and you (farmers) have shown that you don’t fear anyone. Centre has seen that you all can to go lengths for your rights. The laws were passed without any discussion or debate, when we asked for one, they denied.
Pointing fingers at Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, he said, We decided to carry out a march till governors residence but look at the situation, instead of being here, he is somewhere else. Maharashtra hasn’t seen such a governor, who has time to meet Kangana Ranaut but not farmers.
Mumbai has witnessed multiple protests and agitations for the last 90 years. This protest is now added in the long chain. I have come here to extend my support along with my party’s to the farmers, said the 80- year-old veteran leader.
