Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Tuesday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on issues related to farmers in the state and the ongoing strike of Maharashtra government employees. 

In an official press release, the congress said, around 20 lakh employees in the state have gone on strike demanding implementation of the old pension scheme. Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole alleged that the government is saying that the old pension will be a financial burden. He said that it has money to waive crores of loans of a handful of industrialists but has no money for farmers and government employees in the state, it is a hypocrisy of the government in the state and the BJP government at the center.
