Can you believe that 120 farmers have committed suicide in Maharashtra in just one and a half month? These are just the official figures presented by the state government to their high court. But a BJP MP looks this as a fashion trend. Gopal Shetty who represents the party for the north Mumbai has uttered these precious words. He has even mocked that the states are competing to pay higher competition. "All farmer suicides are not only because of hunger and unemployment. There is a fashion, a trend is on. If Maharashtra government is giving Rs 5 lakh, another government is giving Rs 7 lakh, Rs 8 lakh. There is a competition going on to give money to farmers," were the valuable words delivered by Gopal Shetty. Maharashtra is facing the worst drought ever for third year in row without a drop of water. While the farmers are looking for some drastic measures from the government.... this is what they have received from their honorable MP.
