Call from Girish Mahajan to Bacchu Kadu after Bawankule
(Chandrashekhar Bawankule) A long march with tractors has been organized by Bacchu Kadu for various demands including farmers' debt relief. A blockade was created on the Nagpur-Wardha highway with tractors. Fires were lit at various places on the road at night. It was seen that farmers had set up their entire households on the road.
Bacchu Kadu is firm on the protest and has stated that he will not back down until the demands are met. He has warned that if the demands are not met by 12 noon today, the railway will be blocked. There is a sit-in on the Nagpur-Wardha highway and traffic is at a standstill. He has given an ultimatum until 12 o'clock, saying he will not back down until the demands are met.
In this, Chandrashekhar Bawankule called Bacchu Kadu, and Bacchu Kadu said on the phone, how can we leave the protest and come to Mumbai? Hold the meeting in Nagpur. You can go to other places. What happened to coming to the farmers' march? Bawankule Saheb, you tell me, yesterday's march had millions of people here. If we had left the farmers, what message would have remained? You tell me, if the march leaders themselves had gone to the meeting, what message would have gone? I messaged the Chief Minister, and he said okay. We cannot come to Mumbai for the meeting. How can we come to Mumbai leaving this protest? We are ready for the meeting. Hold the meeting in Nagpur, we will come to Nagpur. Instead of 4-5 of us coming, why don't you come to Nagpur? Come here, we will hold the meeting here. This is how Bacchu Kadu communicated with Chandrashekhar Bawankule over the phone.
Girishbhau, we cannot stop the protest, is it right that farmers die every day? You come to Nagpur and hold a meeting. We cannot come to Mumbai. We are not inviting the Chief Minister to the protest site. If the situation escalates here tomorrow, who will be responsible? Who will take care of the farmers here? It cannot be postponed. This is what Bacchu Kadu said to Girish Mahajan over the phone.
