 “Vidarbha is classic example of allowing FDI in agriculture input like seed ,pesticide, fertilizer as MNCs having done massive investment in seed, pesticide and infrastructure have created their monopoly and involved in unfair trade practices and created a cartel which is main reason of agrarian crisis and now entry of  Walmart, Tesco and Carrefour known the same exploitation will fuel more despair and distress and aggravate agrarian crisis  hence 3 million agrarian crisis hit cotton farmers of west vidarbha alone with thousands of farm widows will join Nation-wide Bandh  called by the Confederation of on September 20, to protest against government's decision to operationalise 51 per cent foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail by road blockade on national highway passing vidarbha , Tiwari added.

“The Development Model  by giving total control of Agriculture and Total Rural Economy in the hand few MNCs is very serious issue we want national debate over prevailing distress and despair coupled mounting debt and failure social and economical system  hence our protest FDI in retail” Tiwari said .
