Most of ill-fated farmers have been debt trapped and denied legitimate bank credit too ,most of farm
ers were forced to do re-sowing due bogus seed and erratic delayed rain, Tiwari informed
“Even after vidarbha farm suicide spiral restarted administration has failed to provide any relief to dying vidarbha farmers, as per Govt. order collector of respective district has visit family of farmer who committed suicide and submit it’s report to state administration but till today non of officer has visited the door step of ill fated farmer ,leave apart the collector that very unfortunate ”Tiwari said.
“UPA Govt.'s has been trying curb anti corruption movement and voice of framers and civil society by police force will receive very strong protest from vidarbha farmer who are the victims of on going corruption and misrule of state where the Govt. is protecting corrupt officers found guilty of misusing relief aid given under prime minister relief package hence our support to agitation much more legitimate as Vidarbha farmers are innocent victims on going misrule and this is a rare opportunity for us to show despair faced by us. Earlier too we supported Anna Hazare's fast and now we are supporting his second freedom struggle" Babetai Bais president vidarbha farm widows association (VFWA) informed in press release.
‘massive corruption in relief packages to the tune of Rs.5000 crore is reason of continued farmers suicides in west vidarbha .serious allegations of corruption against senior minister and executives leveled in relief package graft but nothing has been happened even after CAG and PAC has given reports hence we want accountable and stringent Lokpal Act hence we are supporting Anna hazare’s cause and we appealed all responsible civil society to join the war against corruption’ Babetai Bais of vidarbha farm widows association(VFWA) added.
‘If Annaji can start indefinite fast at the age of 73 then why we should not spread the message of ‘corruption free India’ ,we have decided that whole vidarbha agrarian community will join the agitation along with civil society to take issue to the final conclusion’ Kishor Tiwari said
