Saying that he did not support the manner in which the farmer protested against the Maharashtra government, the NCP leader added: "The government should hear the problems being faced by the farmers despite the fact that doing such a protest in Mantralaya is not right. The drought situation in Maharashtra is dangerous. People don't have drinking water, the same goes with water and fodder for animals as that situation is also acute."
More details about the protest are awaited.
