"Earlier, MPCC President Manikrao Thakare wrote to Prime Minister on this serious issue of injustice with cotton growers of region who are innocent victims of wring policies of the central government while declaring MSP by CACP which is controlled by Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, has ignored all norms all facts and declared MSP at Rs.3,300 under the pressure of textile lobby asked urged centre to raise it Rs.5000 per quintal and in reply to this NCP controlled Maharashtra cotton marketing federation wrote second letter to PMO demanding the revision of cotton MSP to Rs.6,000 per quintal but the ground reality is that the central government has shown the dustbin to both letters and distressed and debt-trapped cotton farmers are forced to sale their cotton in throw away price and are committing suicides, which is most unfortunate," said Tiwari.

Tiwari added that, "If NCP wants cotton farmers should get MSP of Rs.6,000/- then they should part with centre and state Govt .on this issue and same is the case with MPCC President Manikrao Thakare and all Ministers/MLAs of vidarbha should resign from party to save dying cotton growers who are committing suicides due to economic losses after the crop failure this year. The current situation in west vidarbha and part of maharashtra is too terrible to describe as cotton crop in around 52 lakhs hector has failed and cotton growers in the region are in deep economic crisis needs urgent bailout package hence Cong-NCP should stop political war of cotton MSP issue, and ask the government to start procurement of cotton through CCI or NAFED ar the MSP Rs.6000/- per quintal."
