The residents of the Malwadi hamlet in Nashik have decided to boycott elections, with locals putting up a gigantic hoarding in the village square, asking Lok Sabha candidates on the campaign trail to go back if they are not keen on solving the onion crisis.
When mid-day visited the village, scores of farmers expressed harsh sentiments about the onion issue but were unwilling to share their names due to fear of politicians.
