For Nagpur residents, Vidarbha farmers and supporters of separate statehood, the winter session of the Maharashtra state assembly is once-a-year chance and an annual routine to have agitations, demonstrations, disruptions to highlight disturbing, chronic problems of the region, known for the longest time for farmers’ suicides. But this time it has been slightly different. This time the assembly and the agitations have a background of a national, senior BJP leader agitating against the present state government for its failure in handling the agrarian crisis.
