Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal on Tuesday said the Congress and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would continue their agitation until onion growers receive a fair price and justice for their produce.

Addressing a protest organised by the MVA on the Pune-Nashik Highway in Ambegaon taluka of Pune district, Sapkal said onion farmers were being forced to sell their produce at throwaway prices despite investing significant effort and resources in cultivation. He claimed that onion prices had fallen to such an extent that growers were not even receiving Rs 2 per kilogram in the market.
