										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The potential for a patch-up between the Shiv Sena and the BJP in Maharashtra has gained energy over a sequence of occasions together with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s direct assault on ally Congress, simply days after his assembly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.</p>
<p>After a pointy and public row over Congress chief Nana Patole’s feedback about going it alone within the subsequent meeting election, the Shiv Sena in addition to the Congress has denied any menace to the Maha Vikas Aghadi Authorities in Maharashtra.</p>
<p>“Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP stand united, we’re dedicated to run the federal government for 5 years. Outsiders who need to type authorities and are stressed after shedding energy could attempt, however, the authorities will proceed. Attempts could also be made to create cracks between the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena but it surely will not work,” Sena chief Sanjay Raut, informed information company ANI right this moment.</p>
<p>Nana Patole additionally stated on Sunday that his occasion would again Uddhav Thackeray with all its may till he accomplished his time period. He additionally stated there won’t be any downside from Congress to the state authorities.</p>
<p>“Our chief Sonia Gandhi’s stand to be part of the MVA was to stop the BJP from coming to energy. Nevertheless, it had no point out that we’re everlasting in alliance (to battle elections),” he stated.</p>
<p>“The Congress stands robust with Uddhav Thackeray with all its may for all 5 years. There will not be any downside (to the alliance) from the Congress. Our chief Soniaji has already provided that assurance and as a state president, I’m additionally of the identical opinion,” he stated.</p>
<p>On Saturday, Uddhav Thackeray took a pointy swipe on the Congress, his ally since 2019, when the Shiv Sena broke up with the BJP and shaped a coalition with the Nationalist Congress Occasion and the Congress to take energy in Maharashtra.</p>
<p>“If we don’t supply options to folks’ issues however solely talked about going it alone in politics, folks will beat us with chappals. They won’t take heed to our party-centric, formidable discussion of contesting elections alone,” Mr Thackeray stated at a celebration gathering on the Shiv Sena basis day.</p>
<p>Mr Thackeray didn’t identify the Congress however was clearly referring to Mr Patole’s feedback. “Sena isn’t determined for energy….we won’t unnecessarily carry others’ burden. We’ll at all times take an agency stand to guard the pursuits of widespread man. Even we may give a name for contesting elections without alliance,” Mr Thackeray stated. The Sena chief didn’t as soon as assault the BJP, which was telling after his assembly with PM Modi on June 8.

<p>What was considered with curiosity, nevertheless, was a one-on-one assembly between the 2 at Mr Thackeray’s request? Simply two days after that assembly, Sena chief Sanjay Raut’s feedback on the Prime Minister has been remarkably totally different from his regular assaults. Responding to a query on media stories that the RSS had suggested the BJP make use of native leaders as a substitute of PM Modi as their face in state polls, Mr Raut had stated: “I do not need to touch upon it. There isn’t an official assertion on it. BJP owes its success within the final seven years to Modi. At current, Modi remains to be the tallest chief of the nation and BJP.”</p>
<p>Including a different layer to those developments, Shiv Sena MLA Prateep Sarnaik on Sunday urged his occasion to staff up with the BJP once more simply to avoid wasting its leaders from being harassed by central investigation companies. “It’s higher to affix fingers with Prime Minister Narendra Modi once more as Shiv Sainiks really feel that may save the Sena leaders…from issues,” he stated in a letter to Uddhav Thackeray.</p>

<p>“J&amp;K was a &#8216;state&#8217; that signed an Instrument of Accession and acceded to India. It must enjoy that status forever. J&amp;K is not a piece of &#8216;real estate&#8217;. J&amp;K is &#8216;people&#8217;. Their rights and wishes must be respected,” he said in a series of tweets.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="artconfp">Congress General Secretary and Uttar Pradesh in-charge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has in a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged a guaranteed wheat procurement from farmers in the state. She has sought the opening of all purchase centres in the state by July 15 and ensuring maximum purchase from farmers.</p>
<p>Priyanka Gandhi tweeted: &#8220;<span style="text-transform: initial">According to reports, only 14% of the total wheat produced in UP this year has been procured by the government. The purchasing centres of the villages are closed and less wheat is being procured from the farmers.

<p><span style="text-transform: initial">&#8220;The wheat procurement of farmers should be guaranteed by July 15 at the procurement centres. Arrangements for procurement should be ensured at each purchasing centres so that farmers do not have to wander to sell their food grains,&#8221; she demanded.</span></p>
<p>&#8220;I am constantly getting information from all the districts of the state that farmers are facing a lot of problems in the purchase of wheat. The procurement of wheat started on April 1, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, most purchase centres have not been opened. Though farmers went to these centres, wheat procurement has been reduced to half,&#8221; she claimed in the letter.</p>
<p>The Congress leader claims that in states like Punjab and Haryana, the government procurement of wheat accounts for 80-85 per cent of the total production, while in Uttar Pradesh, only 14 per cent of the 378 lakh metric tonnes of wheat produced has been procured by the government centres.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many farmers have not been able to sell their wheat. Now, due to the government decrees, the officers are reluctant to purchase wheat at these centres,&#8221; she alleged.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Chief Minister had said that we will facilitate the purchase of wheat till the last farmer, but in many villages, the purchasing centres are closed and farmers are being forced to go to distant mandis,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>It is raining incessantly in many parts of the state, there is a danger of rotting of wheat due to moisture. In this situation the farmers will be forced to sell their produce at throwaway prices, she said in the letter.</p>
<p>She stated that reports were coming from many districts that a maximum of 30 to 50 quintals of wheat was being purchased from farmers at a time. &#8220;Farmers are very worried about this. With immediate effect, the maximum purchase should be made from farmers,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>The Congress leader also shared the letter on her official Twitter handle and said, &#8220;According to reports, only 14 per cent of the total wheat produced in UP this year has been procured by the government. The purchasing centres of the villages are closed and less wheat is being procured from the farmers. My letter to give relief in procurement and increase the date of wheat procurement to farmers suffering from backbreaking inflation and coronavirus.&#8221;</p>
