Uddhav Thackeray Rallies Marathwada Farmers, Orders Protests Over Loan Waiver and Flood Aid

He casts the ₹86,000-crore expressway as evidence that relief promises remain unmet.

Overview

  • Concluding a four-day tour in Nanded and Hingoli, Thackeray met flood-hit farmers and pushed his 'Dagabaaz Re' campaign.
  • He told party workers to hold demonstrations at government offices and urged villages to display boards stating 'No farm loan waiver, no vote'.
  • He rejected the state’s ₹31,628-crore relief package as insufficient and disputed claims that aid has been deposited, demanding an immediate loan waiver.
  • Farmers in the region complained of pressure tactics in land acquisition for the proposed Shaktipeeth Expressway as Thackeray questioned the project’s priority.
  • He escalated attacks on BJP and NCP leaders, calling Devendra Fadnavis an 'accidental CM', while BJP’s Amit Satam and Ram Kadam issued sharp rebuttals.
