The frustration of Vidarbha farmers was brought to the state government's notice in a bizarre incident on Sunday.

A distressed farmer drank poison in front of the chief minister and thousands of agriculturists at a public meeting in Amravati district on Sunday. Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan was addressing a municipal poll campaign meeting in Dhamangaon Railway taluka of Amravati. Soon after he began his speech, farmer Arun Sabhane (50), seated some 150 feet from the dais, stood up and asked Chavan to speak about the MSP (minimum support price) for cotton. Some Congress activists asked Sabhane to sit down and listen to the CM's speech.

But Sabhane took out a bottle of pesticide from his pant pocket and started drinking it. Baffled by the sudden turn of events, the policemen deployed on the spot detained Sabhane. He was rushed to the District General Hospital of Yavatmal, where he is said to be in a stable condition. Arun Sabhane is a resident of Gokulsara village in Dhamangaon Railway taluka.

He owns farm land in Dhamangaon taluka and had got around 15 quintal of cotton crop. Sources also said that his wife, Lalita Sabhane, is a Congress activist and a member of the gram panchayat.
