Mumbai, Jan 12 (PTI) Maharashtra Urban Development Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Tuesday termed "farmers' victory" the Supreme Court's decision to stay the implementation of the three new farm laws enacted by the Centre.

".....Be it any government, it was required to take decisions (on the laws) considering sentiments of farmers and taking them into confidence. But unfortunately, this did not happen. Hence, the Supreme Court has intervened. It is the victory of farmers," Shinde told reporters in Chandrapur in east Maharashtra.
