In his statement, Rahul Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha that the condition of farmers in the country is very serious. Farmers are committing suicide in my parliamentary constituency, Wayanad. A notice has been sent to 8,000 farmers for non-payment of bank loans. In Kerala, 18 farmers committed suicide because they could not repay the bank loans. In the past five years, the government has given less money to farmers, while rich industrialists have given more money. The Congress President said, we want to know why this dual approach to farmers. Why is the farmer not more important than the rich for the Government? Rahul Gandhi demanded the government to direct the Reserve Bank of India and stop threatening farmers. He said the condition of farmers in the country is very bad and the government should take steps for this.

On Rahul Gandhi's allegations, Rajnath Singh said that the plight of farmers in the country has been going on for a long time. This condition has not occurred in the last 4-5 years. Those in the country who have been in power for a long time are responsible for this. Steps are being taken to double the income of farmers after the formation of the Modi government. The minimum support price (MSP) that the Modi government has raised has not been increased by any government till date. With this, the scheme of giving 6,000 rupees to farmers has been implemented by our government and has also increased their income. Farmers have committed the most suicides in previous governments and can say this with a claim.
