HENCE TOTAL NUMBER SUICIDES SINCE JUNE2005 HAS REACHED TO THE 626 MARK,KISHOR TIWARI INFORMED TODAY IN MANORA WHERE MORETHAN 42 SUICIDES REPORTED. .

KISHOR TIWARI TOLD MEDIA PERSONS IN MANORA THAT DUE WRONG FEED BACK GIVEN BY STATE GOVT. TO PMO ,PRIME MINISTER HAS DONE WRING DIAGNOSIS AND FAULTY TREATMENT WRONG IN THE SOCALLED RELIEF PACKAGE.

AS BANK ARE NOT KEEN TO GIVE ANY LOAN COTTON GROWERS IN WEST VIDARBHA MORE HOSTILE ADMINISTRATION COMPLETELY FAILED TO CONVEY THE MESSSAGE OF INDIAN PRIME MINISTER TO LOWER RANKING OFFICERS .
MAIN CAUSE OF DISTRESS IN RURAL VIDARBHA IS DUE TO ECONOMICAL CRISIS AS THERE MAIN CASH CROP COTTON HAS BEEN HUGE LOSS MAKING AND POLICIES OF THE GOVT. HAS CREATED THIS HOSTILE CONDITION IN MAHARASHTRA . DECISION OF THE GOVT. TO STOP GIVING ADVANCE BONUS OF RS.500/- PER QUINTAL HAS WORKED AGAINST THE FARMERS MOREOVER NON AVAILABILITY OF LOW INTEREST CROP LOAN HAS ADDED FUEL IN THE AGRARIAN CRISIS.

VJAS DEMANDS IMPOSITION OF CENTRAL RULE IN MAHRASHTRA TO ATCKLE THIS AGRARIAN CRISIS AS MAHARASHTRA GOVT. FAILED TO DO SO.

THE RESTORATION OF ADVANCE BONUS UNDER MONOPOLY COTTON PROCUREMENT SCHEME AND WAIVER TO ALL OLD DEBT IS THE MAIN DEMAND OF THE FARMERS AND THESE TWO DEMANDS WHERE NOT COVERED IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S RS.3750/- VIDARBHA PACKAGE RESULTED 7 MORE SUICIDES IN REGION,KISHOR TIWARI INFORMED.

NO FRESH LOAN TO THE FARMERS WHO ARE IN MONEY LENDERS DEBT TRAP

REVENUE MINISTER NARAYAN RANE IN MAHARASHTRA NARAYAN RANE HAS MADE ONE REDICULOS ANNOUNCEMENT THAT FARMERS THOSE WHO ARE TAKING LOAN FROM MONEY LENDERS WILL NOT GIVEN FRESH CROP LOAN FROM BANK.VJAS TERMED THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AS HOSTILE APPROACH OF GOVT. TO DEAL AGRARIAN CRISIS, IN FACT FARMERS ARE FORCED TO LOAN FROM PRIVATE LOAN AS BANK ARE NOT READY TO GIVE ANY NEW LOAN AFTER ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIME MINISTER'S PACKAGE ,BANK WILL ACT AFTER R.B.I.- NABARD AND THERE OWN BANK MANAGEMENT ISSUES ORDER OF THAT EFFECT AND IT WILL BE ONLY POSSIBLE FOR NEXT KHARIF SEASON 2007.VJAS URGED CENTRAL REVISION IN THERE PACKAGE SO THAT TARGETED RELIEF CAN BE GIVEN TO THE FARMER IN ORDER TO STOP THESE SUICIDES,KISHOR TIWARI ADDED.
