RE:Let Vidarbha live!
by Vaibhav Pradhan on Jan 09, 2008 11:17 PM

My friend, Prem Kumar,

you talking two TOTALLY unrelated topics here. There is NO correlation between Vidarbha being part of Maharashtra and farmers suicides. Farmers are committing suicide because of of so many other socio economic reasons (one being globalized economy especially cotton market).

There is no doubt that we need to help suffering farmers. But, separate Vidarbha is CERTAINLY not the answer. Separate Vidarbha will only help politicians and babus and no one else. Don't you see what is happening in Geo?

By the way, as far Vidarbha people managing their own affairs, Vasantrao Naik from Vidarbha is to date the longest serving CM of Maharashtra (11 years) and Sudhakarrao Naik was also Maharashtra CM. Why didn't they do anything for their region when they were CM's? And since they didn't do anything then what makes you think that 'Vidarbha' CM will do something for Vidarbha.

If you are from Vidarbha, then ask your leadership as to what they are doing to improve situation of farmers in that region. They need not be in power to help distressed people. Take a cue from Shivsena as to how to help common people without being in power!
