Ajay hits out at Govt for neglecting farmers

SR

leader of Opposition Ajay Singh has demanded the State Government to pay compensation of `10 lakh each to the families of three farmers who died in different incidents in Raisen and Betul in last few days.

"The life of farmers of Madhya Pradesh is in great peril under Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s rule. The death of farmers in Raisen and Betul prove that the farmers are facing very difficult situation in the State,” Singh alleged on Friday.

Singh said the Government has adopted an insensitive attitude towards the farmers.

“The death of Pejan Singh Yadav due to indebtedness in Parwaria village in Raisen, death of Mithhulal Meena due to demand of payment from Electricity department officers in Karaghati in Raisen, death of Premchand Sahu in Raisen during wheat procurement and suicide by  a tribal farmer in Betul prove that farmers are facing trouble," he said.

The farmers are looking for the day when they will get liberation from the clutches of the Government that has become a danger to them, Singh said.
