Ajit Pawar skips Delhi GST meet, faces farmers’ ire in Nashik

Farmers in Nashik, Maharashtra, protested against the drop in onion and tomato prices by throwing these vegetables onto the road during a convoy led by deputy CM Ajit Pawar. Three people were detained but later released. Pawar’s absence from a GST Council meeting in Delhi sparked controversy, with his office citing a prior engagement in Nashik. The farmers’ protest aimed to highlight the decrease in prices and the 40% export duty on onions.
