After West Vidarbha Farmers Suicide spiral Reaches Eastern Vidarbha Paddy Belt – Politician ignored the farm suicide issue
In last 25 years more than 28,000 farmers suicides reported in the dry land cotton and soybean farmers in West Vidarbha but same time paddy farmers in East Vidarbha suicides in very less than 3000 but recent years farmers suicides increased in east Vidarbha too and 2022 farmer suicides are at par with west Vidarbha which is alarming for the Govt., all political parties who wants to make agrarian crisis and farm suicides at the time of poll are now are currently keeping silent on these suicides, tiwari said.
Maharashtra in last 5 years mega loan waivers were given to farmers by state govt. whereas central govt. has started direct cash subsidy to farmers along with Prime Minister's Irrigation Scheme, Prime Minister's Crop Insurance Scheme, Electricity subsidy, food security, health security, education subsidy but farm distress in rural Vidarbha and Marathwada of region Maharashtra is getting worst ,as core issues of agrarian crisis are not resolved by state is the only reason of ongoing farm crisis and farmers suicides is main.

Kishore Tiwari welcomed the announcement of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknathrao Shinde that Maharashtra farmers will be free from suicide, and as he has announced Chief Minister Shetkari Samman Yojana, if he is concerned about the farmers of Vidarbha Marathwada, he should address the root cause of agricultural crisis and present distress which are
1. Reduction in production cost, regeneration of land and water quality, increase in productivity, freedom of seeds. Environment friendly sustainable agriculture.
2. The change in cropping pattern and direct cash incentive for food, pulses, oilseeds in the place of cash crops.
3.Reformes in farm credit policy ,Easy abundant crop loan to and removal of RBI and Nationalized Bank anti-farmer policy of CIBIL .
