Mumbai, May 23 – Maharashtra mein kai opposition parties ke leaders ne Thursday ko highway par protest stage kiya, jismein unhone state government se demand kiya ki ve onion ke liye ₹3,000 per quintal minimum support price (MSP) ensure karein. Is demonstration ko prominent political figures ne lead kiya, jo Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway par hua, jisse traffic disrupt hua aur farmer distress ke issue ko widespread attention mila, jo volatile onion prices ke beech hai. Is protest ko opposition coalitions, jaise ki Congress, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), aur anya allies ne organize kiya tha. Reporters se baat karte hue, senior Congress leader Nana Patole ne state government ko criticize kiya, kyunki ve onion farmers ko adequate relief provide karne mein fail rahe hain, jo plummeting market prices ke karan severe financial losses face kar rahe hain. “Onion farmers suffer kar rahe hain. Government ko intervene karna chahiye aur fair price guarantee karni chahiye,” Patole ne kaha. ₹3,000 per quintal MSP ka demand is time par aaya hai, jab Maharashtra mein onion cultivation ki economic viability par chintayein badh rahi hain, jo India mein largest onion producers mein se ek hai. Farmers government se remunerative price set karne ki appeal kar rahe hain, taaki production costs cover ho sakein aur profitability ensure ho sake. Lekin, current market price of onions ne recent months mein ₹1,000 per quintal se neeche kiya hai, jisse growers ko hardship ho rahi hai. State government ne abhi tak is demand par officially respond nahi kiya hai. Lekin, agricultural experts ne point out kiya hai ki itna high MSP set karna challenging ho sakta hai, given current market dynamics aur global trade factors jo onion prices ko influence karte hain. Yeh protest India bhar ke farmers mein badh rahe discontent ko reflect karta hai, jo better price guarantees aur support mechanisms ka demand kar rahe hain, dono state aur central governments se.
