Wadettiwar Slams Maharashtra Govt Over Shaktipeeth Expressway Land Acquisition
•Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticized the Maharashtra government for using police force for land acquisition for the Shaktipeeth Expressway amidst farmer distress.
•Unseasonal rains and hailstorms have destroyed crops in Vidarbha and Marathwada, including jowar, wheat, gram, mango, and grape orchards.
•Wadettiwar alleged that the government has not disbursed compensation for previous losses or released paddy crop bonuses.
•He demanded immediate financial assistance for farmers and ground-level damage assessment.
•Farmers are protesting the project, with Wadettiwar calling the deployment of 1,000 police personnel for land measurement in Parbhani "undemocratic".
