Azad Maidan in south Mumbai turned into a sea of red this morning as thousands of farmers, carrying red flags, converged here after walking around 180 kms under blazing sun over the last six days. Shiv Sena’s Aaditya Thackeray said: “I spoke to them yesterday, and before when we toured the State to hear them, help them. No, I didn’t see the red flags, I saw their red blood which is the same as ours. The opposition Congress, NCP, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena and also Shiv Sena, which is part of the BJP-led ruling alliance in the state, have extended support to the farmers' demands. MNS chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray met the farmers yesterday.
