A group of Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition staged a protest within the premises of Parliament on Tuesday, calling for an extension of the time limit for soybean purchases. The protest was led by Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Supriya Sule, both of whom voiced their concerns regarding the challenges faced by soybean farmers in Maharashtra.

The protesting MPs were seen raising slogans demanding that the time limit for soybean procurement be increased, with chants of "Soyabean khareed ki samay seema badhayi jaaye" (Increase the time limit for soybean purchases). Their demonstration comes amid mounting pressure on the government to ensure that farmers in Maharashtra, a key producer of soybeans, receive fair treatment and support in selling their crops.
