Addressing the gathering Vishwajeet Deshpande, Convenor of Samasta Brahman Sangh said, “Maharashtra Chief Minister, DevendraFadnavis had deceived the entire Brahmins in Maharashtra state. The organisation had launched an agitation in the month of January in Mumbai for 15 demands. At that time, the protest was called off after CM as he assured them to consider their demands and also fulfill some of the ‘legitimate’ demands at the earliest.
However, these demands are still pending and no process has been initiated from the Government so far. Therefore, we had left no alternative than to stage Ghantanaad agitation in Nagpur.”
Jitendra Sharma conducted the proceedings and K Jagadeesan proposed a vote of thanks. Trilokinath Sidhra, Archana Deshmukh, Sanjay Dabli, Ramnarayan Mishra, Manish Trivedi, Ajay Dabir, Narendra Jog, Nandu Ghare, Abhay Naik, Sanjay Pendse, Mahendra Sharma, Ashok Deo, Pratik Trivedi, Ashish Verma, Manoj Kumar Singh, Vikram Sharma, Anil Hastak, Dr Harshavardhan Gokhale, Rajan Bhoot, Rajani Sharma, Apoorva Naik, Shrikant Joshi, Anil Mule, Uday Maha, Anand Paradkar, Govind Sharma and many others attended the agitation.
