The state BJP unit has decided burn effigy of the Agriculture Minister on 7th March 2017 and stage protest in every district headquarter to condemn the statement of the Agruculture Minister on farmer suicide of Bargarh.
As per the report, the Agriculture Minister stated that farmer Khainu Bagarty of Bargarh committed suicide due to family dispute not due to crop loss.
Farmer Khainu Bagarty suicide in Bargarh district has once again created a huge discontent and raised questions on the Naveen Patnaik led BJD Govt’s policy on farmers. The statement of the Agriculture Minister is irresponsible and the report of the district collector of Bargarh has been submitted under pressure, says BJP, Odisha.
As per the information, farmer Khainu Bagarty committed suicide due to crop loss caused by failure of irrigation which was further caused due to shortage of electricity.
Now the state BJP unit has decided to protest in every district headquarter and burn the effigy of the Agriculture Minister on 7th March 2017.
