Maharashtra farmers cry foul over falling onion prices

The imposition of a 40% export duty on onions in Maharashtra has resulted in a drop in prices, angering farmers and putting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the defensive. Opposition parties are urging farmers to vote against the BJP in the upcoming parliamentary elections to express their dissatisfaction. The government imposed the duty to control rising onion prices, but farmers argue that it will lead to financial losses.
