MODI FADNAVIS DOUBLE ENGINE GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR 781 FARMER SUICIDES IN NINE MONTHS

According to a Times of India report from December 2025, Maharashtra has recorded seven hundred eighty one farmer suicides in the first nine months of the year. These deaths are linked to mounting loans, repeated crop failure, and excessive rainfall that has destroyed standing crops. Vidarbha alone has seen two hundred ninety six deaths, while Marathwada has reported two hundred twelve. Across the state, the scale of the loss is devastating.

Even in the face of this tragedy, the BJP government continues to place corporate interests above the lives of cultivators. While farmers wait endlessly for compensation, irrigation facilities, insurance support, and fair prices, the government has written off six point one five lakh crore rupees in loans taken by big businesses. The contrast is stark and painful.

The Times of India’s powerful visual summarises this divide with brutal clarity. There is “Rule of Law” for farmers, who must fight every day for survival, and “Rule of Lounge” for the privileged, who enjoy comfort and protection. This is not the failure of a single department. It is a result of decisions taken at the highest levels of leadership.

The responsibility for this crisis lies squarely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra’s leadership, including Devendra Fadnavis, who have held power almost continuously from twenty fourteen till now, apart from a short break between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty two. After eleven years of BJP rule, Maharashtra continues to be the centre of farmer distress. The questions that follow are unavoidable. Why has the state remained the epicentre of farmer suicides? Where are the promised reforms? Where is the accountability? Where is the empathy?

Farmers do not need slogans or staged photo opportunities. They need justice. They do not need a so called double engine government. They need a government that works.

We stand with the farmers of India. The demand for accountability begins now.
