Maha face-off in House over farmer suicides, loan waiver

THE treasury benches and the Opposition on Wednesday clashed in the Maharashtra assembly over the rise in farmers' suicides and demand for farm loan waiver. The Opposition twice staged a walk-out over the issue of farmer suicides. This newspaper reported on Tuesday that 767 farmers committed suicide in the state between January and March this year, and a majority of the cases happened in Vidarbha.

The Opposition upped the ante against the ruling MahaYuti, demanding farm loan waiver and a discussion in the House on farmers' suicides.
