Overview
- Thackeray urged villagers to put up “No farm loan waiver, no vote” boards and told party workers to protest at government offices until pending compensation is paid.
- He said the government announced a roughly ₹31,000–31,628 crore relief package but has not delivered it, and he rejected claims that aid has reached farmers’ bank accounts.
- Pointing to an ₹86,000-crore road plan and the proposed Shaktipeeth Expressway, he argued that big projects are being prioritised as farmers report pressure tactics in land acquisition.
- On the tour’s final day, he escalated political attacks, calling Devendra Fadnavis an “accidental Chief Minister” and labeling the BJP a “Corrupt Janata Party.”
- He tied his campaign to recent land-deal controversies involving figures linked to the ruling alliance and positioned the drive ahead of upcoming local body polls.
