Maharashtra leader Aaditya Thackeray gave his support to a big protest by farmers demanding fair price for onion crop. Mr Thackeray, a leader of the Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray, said, "The government sees the protest as a law and order issue, when it fact farmers are protesting to demand their right... Farmers are in dire situation in Maharashtra. Problem is, if tomorrow nobody remains a farmer, what will we eat?" Mr Thackeray said.
