Nationalist Congress Party leader Supriya Sule slammed the Maharashtra government on the stir across the state over export duty on onions. On Thursday, Sule said that the ruling government [in Maharashtra] was exhibiting “complete policy paralysis” and lack of coordination, stated a report in PTI. 

Farmers and traders in Nashik have been demonstrating since Monday against Union government’s August 19 decision to impose 40 per cent export duty on onions till December 31. The demonstration has thereby affected the auctions in the APMCs in Nashik, including Lasalgaon, which is the largest wholesale market of onions in India. The report stated that the farmers have been protesting on the highway demanding the export duty decision be scrapped, according to the PTI.
