Editorial comment

Farmers have been committing suicide for the past several years in India. However, no ruling party leader fought the battle to stop this. This situation can change only in the Hindu Rashtra.

New Delhi – Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar informed the Parliament that the number of farmers who committed suicide for various reasons is 5,579 in 2020. There is a slight drop in the number of farmers who committed suicide in 2020 compared to the year 2019 where the number was 5,957.
