Nagpur: The farmers’ agitation led by former minister and Prahar Janshakti Party chief Bacchu Kadu has reached a critical stage today as the demand for complete farm loan waiver intensifies. The Nagpur–Hyderabad Highway, where Kadu and his supporters have been staging a sit-in protest, turned tense after the High Court ordered the site to be cleared by 6 p.m.
Ministers Pankaj Bhoyar and Ashish Jaiswal were sent by the government to hold talks with Kadu, but the discussions failed to yield any resolution. Following this, an angry Kadu marched directly toward the police, demanding arrest for himself and his supporters.

In a written statement to the police, Kadu warned the government, saying, “We respect the court’s order, but we will not withdraw our agitation until our demands are met. If the government wants us to stop, then make arrangements for us in jail.”
Kadu further criticized the government’s approach, stating, “The delegation was supposed to meet us at 4 p.m., but they only came after the court’s order. We will not meet any minister now. Only Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis should talk to us directly.”
A heavy police presence has been deployed at the protest site following the failed talks. With Kadu refusing to back down, the farmers’ protest in Nagpur is rapidly escalating, and the situation is expected to turn politically volatile in the coming hours.
