KOLZARI FARMERS BURNED PRIME MINISTER, AGRICULTURE MINISTER AND MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER EFFIGY ALONG WITH CORPUS OF SHIVALAL RATHODE.
NAGPUR-3RD DECEMBER, -2006,
WHEN ON 1ST JULY –2006 INDIAN PRIME MINISTER DR.MANMOHAN SINGH WAS TO VISIT VILLAGE KOLZARI TO MEET ALL VILLAGERS AND WIDOW OF ONE FARMER GOSWAVI PAWAR WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE IN LAT MAY DUE DEBT AND AGRARIAN CRISIS BUT PRIME MINISTER VISIT GOT CANCELLED AFTER LOCAL ADMINISTRATION STRONGLY APPOSED IT, RESULTING IN THE MASSIVE UNREST IN THE KOLZARI VILLAGERS AND FARMERS STARTED CHAIN FAST HUNGER AGITATION AND LASTLY ALL VILLAGER TOOK THE “GANDHIGIRI” STYLE AGITATION AND STARTED DAILY POOJA –ARATI (WORSHIP) BEFORE BIG PHOTOS OF PRIME MINISTER ,AGRICULTURE MINISTER AND MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER LARGELY ATTENDED FUNCTION ON 26TH NOVEMBER 2006 WHICH WAS DREW LARGE ATTENTION OF MEDIA.
TODAY ONE OF DISTRESSED FARMER SHIVALAL DAMADU RATHODE CONSUMED PESTICIDE AND WAS SHOUTING THAT PRIME MINSTER WILL NOT COME TO KOLZARI, I WILL SEE HIM .HE WAS RUSHED TO V.N.GOVT.MEDICAL COLLEGE BUT DOCTOR DECELERATED BROUGHT DEAD.
MASSIVE UNREST IS PREVAILING IN THE WHOLE COTTON GROWING AREA OF WEST VIDARBHA AS DAILY 4 TO5 FARMERS ARE COMMITTING SINE 10TH DECEMBER, 2005 AND ARE PER GOVT. OWN REPORT MORE THAN 1300 FARMERS COMMITTED SUICIDE IN SIX SUICIDE PORN DISTRICT OF VIDARBHA. TO PROTEST CONTINUOUS APATHY OF PRIME MINISTER AND ADMINISTRATION THEIR PHOTOS WERE ALL SET ON FIRE ALONG WITH DEAD BODY OF SHIVALALA RATHODE, MOHAN JADHAV INFORMED TO PRESS WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE TIME OF FUNERAL. MAHARSHTRA CHIEF MINISTER VILASRAO DESHMUKH IS ISSUING STATEMENTS OVER STATEMENTS WHICH ARE MISLEADING AND KEEPING THE MEDIA DARK REGARDING SERIOUSNESS OF ON GOING SUICIDES, KISHOR TIWARI OF VIDARBHA JAN ANDOLAN SAMITI INFORMED TODAY.
”WE ARE LISTING ONLY NAMES OF FARMERS WHOES NAME APPEARED IN REGIOANL PAPERS AND YOU ARE GIVING VERY CONSERVATIVE FIGURE AFTER DUE VARIFICATION HENCE MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER SHOULD REFRAIN HIMSELF FROM MAKING BASELESS STATEMENTS, KISHOR TIWARI ADDED. THE DECEASED OF 2ND DECEMBER 2006 ARE KALIRAM CHAVAN OF SAWARGOAN IN WASHIM.GOBARSHING NAIK OF VILLAGE BORKHED IN BULDHANA, MAHADEV SANAWANE OF PIMPALRI IN WASHIN DISTRICT AND SHIVALAL RATHODE OF VILLAGE KOLZARI IN YAVAMAL P
.
NOW MOST SUICIDES ARE DUE TO SUDDEN COTTON CROP FAILURE AFTER MASSIVE INFECTION TO B.T. COTTON CROP IN VIDARBHA, FAILURE OF B.T.COTTON WILL ADD MORE SUICIDES AS IT HAS INCREASED COST OF IN DOUBLE FOLD BUT OUTPUT IS ALL MOST CERTAINLY 50% THAN EXPECTED ONE.
B.T. COTTON MONOPOLY SELLER IN INDIA US BASE COMPANY MONSANTO’S BIG CLAIMS OF MORE PRODUCTION AND LESS EXPENSES ON PEST MANAGEMENT IS PROVING TO BE WRONG ONCE AGAIN AS AVARAGE PRODUCTION IS NOT ABOVE 2 QUINTAL PER ACRE THIS YEAR TOO.
VIDARBHA FARMERS WHO ATTRACTED TO OPT B.T. COTTON AS SEED POCKET OF 450 GMS WAS SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN FROM RS.1760/- TO RS.750/- BUT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE INCENTIVE CARE THAT NEEDED THIS G.M. CROP MORE OVER IT IS WIDELY DISCUSSED THAT THIS B.T.COTTON SEED IS NOT SUITED FOR RAIN FED COTTON GROWERS OF WEST VIDARBHA.
THIS YEAR TOO " LALAYA- REDDENING OF LEAVES" AND POWDER MELLI THAT JACID BASE FUNGAL INFECTION ,THIS WAS MAJOR CAUSE OF COTTON CROP FAILURE LAST YEAR IN WHICH GOVT. OF MAHRASHTRA COMPENSATED 2 MILLION COTTON GROWERS TO TUNE OF RS. 200 CRORES,HAS ONCE AGAIN BECOME KILLER CROP AS MORE THAN 50% COTTON PLANTS ALL READY EATEN AWAY MOSR OF THE RAIN FED COTTON CROP AND STANDING COTTON CROP IN 22 HECTOR MOSTLY B.T.COTTON FAILED TO GIVE MORE THAN 2 QUINTAL PER ACRE YIELD HENCE TOTAL PRODUCTION OF COTTON LIKELY TO BE WELL BELOW 15 MILLION QUINTAL,VIDARBHA JAN ANDOLAN SAMITI PRESIDENT,KISHOR TIWARI REPORTED TODAY.
THE REPORT OF MAHRASHTRA GOVT. THAT COTTON CROP IN VIDARBHA IS BUMPER WILL CROSS 35 MILLION QUINTALS MARK IS TOTALLY MIS LEADING ,THIS IS BAD YEAR FOR COTTON TOO IN VIDARBHA AND TIME HAS COME STATE TO SHOULD TO PROTECT FARMERS ON PRICE FRONT AS PRODUCTION HAS BEEN SET TO DROP DOWN BY 50% MAY LEAD MORE COTTON FARMERS SUICIDES,KISHOR TIWARI ADDED.
MAHARASHTRA MARKETING MINISTER HARSHWARDHAN PATIL IS NOT KNOWING THE GROUND REALITY OF COTTON BELT OF VIDARBHA AND MARATHWADA AND HE IS PROVIDING BASE LESS INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA AT THE SAME TIME DR.N.P.HIRANI CHAIRMAN COTTON FEDERATION WAS CLAIMING 26 MILLION COTTON CROP,THIS ALL NONSENSE ,MAHARASHTRA GOVT.'S HOSTILE ATTITUDE HAS BEEN FORCING VIDARBHA FARMERS TO COMMITE SUICIDES,KISHOR TIWARI BLAMED.
MPCC PRESIDENT SMT.PRABHA RAO IS INFORMING TO THE PRESS IN NAGPUR THAT RESTORETION ADVANCE IN COTTON MONOPOLY SCHEME IS ONLY SOLUTION TO STOP THE VIDARBHA FARMERS SUICIDE AND MAHARASHTRA GOVT. WILL ANNOUNCE COTTON PROCUREMENT PRICE RS.2700/- PER QUINTAL BEFORE WINTER SESSSION THAT 6TH DECEMEBR 2006 ,IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT MINISTER IN MAHARASHTRA GOVT.
