Talking to media, Ranpise said that it has been announced to make Maharashtra cashfree but the farmers are the worst sufferers in this rabi season. “Neither they are getting suitable price for their produce nor they are getting buyers,” he said.
He also pulled up the government saying that on one hand farmers are forced to face miseries, while on the other Rs 10 crore in cash is seized from Tilak Nagar in Mumbai. He alleged that the cash belongs to an MP in Parli Baijnath.
“When we are asking to discuss on the issue, we are being stopped. Similarly like our leader Rahul Gandhi is being stopped from speaking anything,” he said.
