As many as eight farmers are reportedly dying by suicide everyday in Maharashtra. As many as 1,203 farmers took their lives ever since the Eknath Shinde government came to power, the Indian Express reported, quoting NCP leader and Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar, while he was speaking at Maharashtra’s legislative assembly on March 10.

“Farming in Maharashtra is under threat due to unseasonal rain, farm produce is unable to get a good price and as a result, farmers are throwing their produce on the road, agri power connections are being cut and price of fertilisers is increasing,” Pawar said.

“The Shinde-Fadnavis government is one of the most insensitive governments in terms of agriculture,” he added. The New Indian Express reported that as against 1,203 farmers dying during seven months of the current administration, 1,660 farmers had died in the two-and-a-half-year period of the previous Maha Vikas Agadhi (MVA) government led by Uddhav Thackeray.

Before the MVA government, the state was under the BJP rule and Devendra Fadnavis was the chief minister between 2014 and ’19. In that time period, 5,061 farmers ended their lives. “In the Marathwada region, 62 farmers committed suicide in the last two months, while a total of 22 farmers ended their lives in the Beed district,” New Indian Express quoted Pawar as saying.
