Opposition walks out of Maha Assembly over crop price crisis

Nagpur, Dec 11 (UNI) The Maharashtra Assembly on Thursday witnessed a loud and heated protest as opposition legislators walked out, accusing the Mahayuti government of neglecting cotton and soybean farmers and mishandling procurement amid a widening disparity between market prices and the assured rates.
Dissatisfied with Agriculture Minister Jayakumar Rawal’s responses during Question Hour, opposition members shouted slogans and charged the government with indifference toward farmers’ distress.
They slammed the administration for failing to start official cotton procurement centres in several districts and for not ensuring the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for soybean. Infuriated by what they described as vague and inadequate answers from Minister Rawal, the opposition ultimately stormed out of the House.
