The BJP has called on the Congress party to apologize for approximately 60,000 farmer suicides that occurred during their 15-year governance in Maharashtra from 1999 to 2014.
State BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye criticized the policies of the Congress-led government as ineffective and responsible for farmers feeling compelled to end their lives. He urged Congress leaders to apologize before pointing fingers at the current administration.
Upadhye also critiqued the Opposition, claiming they have failed to offer constructive suggestions and were more concerned about internal issues, with the Shiv Sena discussing party theft and the Congress focusing on central leadership.
