Sanjay Sathe had earlier sent Rs 1,064, his earnings from onion sale in the wholesale market, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 29 as a protest.
The farmer from Nashik, who had sent his onion sale earnings to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to highlight low returns, has alleged that the district authorities wrongly described his produce as of “low quality”.
Sanjay Sathe, from Niphad tehsil in Nashik district of Maharashtra, on December 17 wrote a letter to the PMO in which he said the authorities prepared a report about his onion produce without any inquiry and that it was “false”.
