100 farmers may be BJP Agents: Sanjay Raut

Mumbai Mar 13 (UNI) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said here on Thursday that the 100 farmers who have submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to make Shakti Peeth a highway may be agents of Bharatiya Janata Party.
The common farmer does not want to give away his land. "Basically, what is the need for Shakti Peeth. We are not opposing, the farmer has taken to the streets. Just because 100 farmers have come to you, you cannot support a wrong scheme," he told the state government.
Raut said the state government should convince Maharashtra why the Shakti Peeth is important. UNI SP SSP
