72 suicides in Vidharbha

This is really pathetic and the reason lies in our own double standards. On one hand, the people in the government supress the recommendations of the Kelkar Report and continue the tax-freedom for the farmers, while on the other hand, the farmers are not given the proper minimum support price, sufficient enough to sustain their lives. The politics of vote bank must stop at once. Take taxes from the farmers, but give them the PROPER PRICE at once.
