Opposition members staged a protest on the steps of the Vidhan Bhawan in Nagpur on Tuesday (December 9, 2025), the second day of the Maharashtra Assembly’s Winter session, demanding a complete loan waiver for farmers.

Leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, including Congress’s Vijay Wadettiwar, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray, Nationalist Congress Party — Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) Shashikant Shinde, among others, gathered on the steps of the Vidhan Bhawan and raised slogans.

Opposition leaders accused the Government of delaying the purchase of soyabean, which resulted in farmers selling the produce at ₹4,000, well below the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of ₹5,328. They demanded a complete loan waiver for cultivators, who had suffered losses.
