Press Briefing on Halla Bol Campaign led by Sunil Tatkare

The Regional President of the NCP, Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare declared that the NCP is going to start the Halla Bol campaign in the state. This movement will be focused on different issues, including, loan waiver to the farmers, unemployment, problems associated with the urban area and no adherence to laws and regulations. Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare informed about the Halla Bol campaign in the press conference, which was also attended by the former Deputy Chief Minister of the state Honourable Mr Ajit Pawar.

The regional president of the NCP, Mr Sunil Tatkare recalled that the BJP Government has declared that the Government will be crediting loan waiver amounts to the farmer’s account till 25th November. But the actual implementation of this promise is not seen. Farmers in the state are disappointed with this delay and are not pleased with the State Government. Additionally, the Government has also failed to resolve the unemployment problem faced by the youth. Moreover, the BJP Government is also ineffective in dealing with the problems in urban areas of the state. To be more specific, there is no control over the implementation of law and order. There is a registration of 6–7 murder cases daily in Nagpur city itself. Home Department has failed substantially to regulate law and order in the state. Eventually, this situation has become completely frustrating for the common people.

Mr Tatkare further informed that in line with these different issues there will be a beginning of the Halla Bol movement in the state. This movement will be useful in order to awaken the people and make them realize the failures of the BJP Government. The campaign will be initiated at Late Yashwantrao Chavan’s Memorial, Karad on 25th November 2017. Also, there will be a walk rally from Yavatmal to Nagpur to be initiated on 1st December. On 11th December the rally will visit Maharashtra State Assembly Winter Session and will put forward the demands of the people during this winter session.

Former Deputy Chief Minister, Mr Ajit Pawar also reacted that out of 12 Crore farmers in the state only 500 farmers are getting the actual benefits of the schemes availed by the BJP Government and the State Government is busy in the advertisement of its poor work. The Government has ignored the demand for farmer’s loan waivers. Mr Pawar further declared that the NCP leaders will not attend any of the Government programmes and events now onwards.

The BJP Government is leading the state for the last 3 years and the NCP is playing the perfect role of an opposition party. The NCP has raised many current issues in the state, including the problems associated with farmers, youth, and the regulation of law and order. The Halla Bol campaign will be an eye-opener for the BJP Government. This Halla Bol movement is going to be the right platform to present different issues unattended by the BJP Government. It is expected that people will support this campaign positively in order to gain the attention of the State Government towards their problems. Also, the campaign will be led by many NCP eminent including Honourable Mr Ajit Dada Pawar, Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare, etc. It can be predicted that the successful implementation of a Halla Bol campaign can become a foundation work of the NCP in order to assure grand success in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections.
