Now both budget of Indian and maharashtra govt. are placed before the respective houses for sanction but both failed to address vidarbha agrarian crisis as main demands of cotton growers regarding restoration of cotton rate Rs.2500 per quintal and complete loan waiver, and having seen the main demands of cotton farmers being rejected more and more suicides are daily reported which is very serious matter.
