What drove 135 Gujarat farmers to suicide? Sunday, Mar 24, 2013, 11:37 IST | Place: Ahmedabad | Agency: DNA
State govt says no farmer had killed himself due to crop failure but its reply to an RTI query & its internal paper reveal otherwise
In the last five years, 135 debt-ridden farmers committed suicide in Gujarat because there was no help forthcoming from the state government. But the government refuses to accept that so many farmers killed themselves because they were unable to pay off debts caused by crop failure and fodder shortage. Instead, the government prefers to dismiss reports of farmer suicides as part of a larger ‘Congress conspiracy’ against it.
On the other hand, experts and activists working among drought-affected farmers of Gujarat say that the figure of 135 deaths in five years is just the tip of the iceberg. They insist that the actual number of farmer suicides in the state is much higher.
