It is shocking and shameful that over 125 farmers have committed suicide in the aftermath of the pompous announcement of loan waiver. There was no decline in the number of farmers’ suicides even after the Prime Minister visited Vidharbha. Why does it not appeal to the policymakers that their gestures are greeted only by withdrawal?
The poor farmers of Vidharbha seem to be twice cursed – by the gross official neglect and by the media euphoria that they are being showered with enormous charity. - S.V.Venugopalan, Chennai

Grateful thanks to Mr.S.V.Venugopalan, Chennai and The Hindu.
