Ryots in the sugar belt use their own money, shun funding from mill owners

Kolhapur (Maharashtra):
“I have money to contribute to your election fund,” says a man in tattered clothes, taking out a soiled ?10 note from his pocket. He hands over the note with a broad smile and a promise: “I have given a note, and now I will vote.”

It’s a sunny afternoon in a tiny hamlet in the remote Shahuwadi taluka of Maharashtra’s Kolhapur district. Small farmers and farm labourers have gathered to donate election funds to the Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghtana (SSS), the leading farmers’ organisation in the State.

Since 2001, when the SSS decided to enter electoral politics, farmers in the sugar belt have been shouldering the responsibility of election funds. The organisation does not accept money from corporate houses or sugar barons.

“One note, one vote” is the tagline of the SSS campaign. Two time Lok Sabha MP and SSS president Raju Shetti believes it is best for farmers if they, along with common people, fund elections.
