Talking about the issues her party is fighting these elections are farm distress and lack of jobs. She said, "I think the defining issue is that farmers are suffering. They have got no help from the government, they say that they do not get seeds and fertilisers on time. In some places, seeds are costing them more than their crop. They are in debt, and there is nobody to support them and nobody to help them.
