16 July :-
Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana MP Raju Shetty has launched a milk movement across the state demanding that every rupee five-liter subsidy be deposited directly into the milk producer’s account. The activists of the organization have become aggressive in various parts of the state and at Sangli, Kolhapur, Solapur, Pune and Amravati, the workers of the district have broken milk tankers and distributed milk on the road.
Govt says that milk would be brought from other states, especially Gujarat & Karnataka. We'll start a 'Satyagraha' & ensure that no milk is brought to from outside. It's the tactic of the govt to disrupt protest by doing this: R Shetti, Swabhimani Shetkari Sangathna leader & MP pic.twitter.com/dcEf0hB349
