Farmers' agitation in southern Maharashtra and other regions in the state demanding waiver of farm loans is triggering political polarisation. Activists of the Shetakari Sanghatana have backed the Sena-BJP and other party activists on the issue. | |
| As the ruling Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in the state have not categorically responded to the demand, the agitation is turning out to be anti-government. |
| |
| Veteran social activist Mohan Dhariya has threatened to launch a massive agitation from January 26. Dhariya has criticised the anti-farmers policy of the state government and its inaction in responding to the farmers' due demands. |
