State Govt indifferent to farmers woes: N D Patil

Akola, May 16 (UNI) Senior PWP leader N D Patil has accused the State Government of disregarding the problems faced by farmers.

He was speaking at a function organised by the Maharashtra Rajya Kapoos Utpadak Shetkari Sangh to felicitate him yesterday.
