On Sunday, protesting farmers had walked over 180 km to arrive in the capital city of Mumbai in order to press their demands regarding the agrarian crisis. However, the politicians and other social organisations used the march as an opportunity to click photographs for publicity.

Moreover, the politicians who never sympathetic towards the communist ideology also came to meet the farmers and extended their support. They donned the red caps and held banners while shouting slogans of 'Lal Selam', typical of the communist school of thought.

Aditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena's youth leader, who had never attended any programme of the communist forum, came to meet the marching farmers under the banner of Akhil Bhartiya Kisan Sabha on Sunday. Aditya Thackeray conveyed Sena president Uddhav Thackeray's message and promised to fight for the farmers.

Sena ministers, Eknath Shinde and Dada Bhuse, accompanied him. Meanwhile, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Jitendra Awhad and its Women's wing president Chitra Wagh also donned the cap and hurled slogans, expressing solidarity to the farmers. Awhad said "I do not belong to a communist party but the cause is important to me and my party.

Therefore we had joined the march on Sunday." Additionally, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray met the farmers at Somaiya ground on Sunday .
