Delegation led by SSS MP Raju Shetty meets Maha Guv

A 30 member delegation of Swabhimani Shetkari Saghtana (SSS) led by its chief and MP Raju Shetti today called on Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao here.

Shetti, whose party is an ally of the NDA and part of the Maharashtra government, said he has submitted to the Governor a memorandum for waiving loans of farmers.

The memorandum comprises signatures of 6.5 lakh farmers.

Shetti also said he has opened the doors of a dialogue with Maharashtra government but nobody has expressed desire to talk and bring a solution to the issue.

"We give one month's time to the government to meet our demands of a loan waiver. If it doesn't respond, our agitation will increase," he said.
 

"If the government doesn't announce a loan waiver within a month, we will call a meeting of our party's working committee and decide whether to remain part of the government," he said.

Shetti said he will hold a separate agitation against the Mumbai-Nagpur super expressway.

The Lok Sabha member today culminated his 'Atmaklesh Yatra' (repentance march) at Raj Bhavan, which he had begun from Pune on May 22.
