Bengaluru: Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M.Venkaiah Naidu has termed the statement made by Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh on farmers’ suicides in the country as “objectionable and unacceptable”, and said the mistake occurred due to "messed up data" provided by the National Crime Records Bureau.

In a reply to a question at a press conference in Bengaluru on Saturday, Mr. Naidu said, “the statement as reported is objectionable and not acceptable. The NCRB messed up the data of farmers suicides with general suicides. That mistake has happened.”

“Dowry, love affairs and impotency were among the reasons for the deaths of over 1,400 farmers in India this year,” Mr.Singh told the Rajya Sabha on Friday in a written reply to a question as to what caused the death of so many farmers in the country.

Noting that the NCRB had done similar mistakes in the past too, Mr. Naidu said “general suicides are different from farmers’ suicides. I went through statement and talked to the Minister too also. Farmers commit suicides owing to rural indebtedness, crop failure and sometimes failure to get expected yield from the crop."

Mr. Singh was expected to issue a clarification on the issue, Mr. Naidu said, adding that the Centre has taken steps for the benefit of farmers and to discourage them from taking such extreme steps.
