Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s remarks on Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray alleged that PM Modi "crushed" farmers while questioning his contribution towards their welfare.

"What have you (PM Modi) done for farmers? So tell me what you are doing for the farmers and how you crushed the farmers. Just asking others what did he do?" the Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief said. "Pawar will look at what he did for farmers. It`s between Pawar and the farmers, But what did you (PM Modi) do for the farmers?" asked Uddhav. "Why were the farmers in the north sitting on the roads in the cold, wind and rain for a whole year? Why was the black law withdrawn after that?" he said, taking a dig at PM Modi.
