Mumbai, Jan 25 (UNI) Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Monday alleged that the Maharashtra Governor has no time to meet kisan brothers who gathered at Azad Maidan in Mumbai to protest against the Centre's farm laws while he has time to meet bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut.



Without taking governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari - name - Pawar said that the farmers were planning to go to Raj Bhavan to submit a memorandum to him after today’s rally at Azad Maidan.



“However, now I am told he (Governor) has gone away to Goa… We have never had such a Governor in the state’s entire history… He has time to meet Kangana, but our Kisan brothers who have come here from all over the state…” Pawar said sharply while addressing a huge farmers’ rally at Azad Maidan.



He also said that it was the “moral duty” of the Governor to at least remain and receive the people of the state who are the ‘annadaata’ (food-givers), but he did even show the courtesy to remain in Raj Bhavan to accept their memorandum.



Pawar’s acidic remarks came after he was informed that the Governor is not in the state and has reportedly gone to Goa, putting a question mark on the plans of the Samyukta Shetkari Kamgar Morcha leaders on whom to submit the memorandum.



It may be recalled that farmes from various districts of Maharashtra were today protesting against the BJP led center goverment law.

Beside Sharad Pawar Maharashtra Congress chief Balasaheb Thorat ;Sena leaders and other leaders have also address the rally.
