Modi Govt responsible for suicides by farmers: Togadia

Sunday, 16 December 2018 | PTI | Ahmedabad

Hindutva leader Pravin Togadia on Saturday blamed “wrong policies” of Narendra Modi Government for farmers’ suicides in the country. Togadia, who has recently floated Antar-Rashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP), Saturday took part in a 20-km march from Dehgam to Gandhinagar in support of the farmers.

Several locals and farmers participated in the protest which was organised by the Rashtriya Kissan Parishad (RKP), an AHP wing.

While talking to reporters at Gandhinagar after culmination of the march, Togadia said the BJP should stop considering the farmers as a “vote-bank”.

“Government has betrayed and tortured the farmers to the limits. Enough is enough. Farmers are being crushed under a mountain of debt and are committing suicides due to wrong policies of the government. This government should resign if they cannot do justice to the farming community”, demanded Togadia. He accused the Prime Minister of “betraying” farmers by “not keeping” promises.

Modi had promised that recommendations made by the Swaminathan Commission for farmers in its report will be implemented in toto.
