CM Devendra Fadnavis On Bachchu Kadu Protest: Fadnavis' First Reaction on Bachchu Kadu's Protest, "My appeal is that..."

Bachchu Kadu's march has reached Nagpur. Due to the Maha Elgar movement initiated by Prahar's founder and former minister Bachchu Kadu for demands like loan waiver, clean land records, and various farmer interests, a tense atmosphere has been created in Nagpur. Bachchu Kadu is firm on his decision, warning that he will not back down until the demands are met. He had stated in a conversation with Lokshahi Marathi that if the demands are not met by 12 noon today, they will block the railway.

Against this backdrop, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said today, "The government has maintained a positive stance on this issue from day one. We had said that we would discuss it. Bacchu Kadu agreed, but then he sent me a message at midnight saying that we cannot attend the meeting. Bawankule has made contact, and so many different issues have been raised that the issues will not be resolved through agitation."

"We have invited Bachchu Kadu for discussions. People have been inconvenienced due to roadblocks. My appeal is to have discussions and not do anything that will trouble people. It is necessary to be cautious of those who come to this movement out of enthusiasm. Rail blockades will not be allowed. We are positive about the farmers' issues, discussions will lead to a solution. Farmers are in trouble as the crops have been damaged due to rain. Should we help them first or help the banks? The government has given a package of 32 thousand crores. Today, for the first time, money should be given to the farmers' accounts. Therefore, we are ready for all kinds of discussions."
