Mumbai: Former Minister of Maharashtra and BJP leader Sanjay Kute on Thursday launched unlimited protests in Maltralaya here to protest “non-payment” plants insurance by farmers.
Mortalaya is the state administration headquarters in South Mumbai, where all ministers and secretaries are located.
Speaking to reporters, Kute said, “During the past seven months, plants insurance companies have not paid the sanctions of RS 65 Crore to farmers, who have lost their crops due to natural disasters, and even though the judgment is well finished.” “Insurance companies do not make payments to farmers, which have made several demands to the state government to issue directives to these companies.
The state government fully ignores the demand for farmers,” he thought.
Kute represents Jamod assembly constituency in Jalgaon Regency in North Maharashtra.
He accused that the state government and insurance companies appointed each other for this problem.
“We have been told by the insurance company that the state government does not pay them some contributions in the past, which is why they cannot make payments to farmers because of their plants losses.
This is outrageous.
Farmers may not suffer because of the clash of state insurance companies and plants,” he said.
“We will not leave Mantrallaya until our demands are fulfilled.
The number of assessments has been determined by the state and plant insurance companies at RS 65 Crore, but the amount must be paid to farmers,” said the legislator.
