Karimnagar: In the wake of the crisis facing the agricultural sector and the suicides of large number of farmers on account of financial burdens, BJP Kisan Morcha has started making efforts to find out a suitable solution to put an end to the agrarian crisis by negotiating with the Union government.
The BJP Kisan Morcha has formed an expert committee along with the people belonging to different states that depend on agriculture. The preliminary meeting of the committee was held on November 18 and discussed various options to bail-out the agriculture sector from the crisis.
The Committee members decided to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitly on December 10 and request them to take necessary steps to rescue the farming community.
Speaking to The Hans India here on Wednesday, P Sugunakar Rao, Kisan Morcha national general secretary said that a 20-member delegation including former Karnataka Chief Minister Yedyurappa would meet the Prime Minister and Finance Minister on December 10 and submit a memorandum to them requesting to take steps to protect the agriculture sector. He said that the agriculture sector in the country was in trouble following the drought kind of situation prevailing in various states and increase of input investment on cultivation.
Farmers, who were borrowing money from private money lenders to cultivate crops, were trapped in debts as they were unable to get adequate yield due to a prolonged dry spell and other reasons.
