 "BJP turning a deaf ear to farmers' woes in Maharashtra, MP: Sitaram Yechury")
The CPI(M) on Monday accused the BJP- led governments in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh of turning a deaf ear to problems of farmers.
"From MP to Maharashtra, farmers woes continue to mount. After all the tall promises, BJP govts turn a deaf ear to their problems," CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted.
Farmers in Maharashtra had launched a stir on June 1 pressing for various demands, including waiver of loans due to crop failures and indebtedness, and guaranteed minimum support price.
