[Assam] [WaterWatch] 10 more vidarbha farm suicides in last three days in the mist of election campaign:

[mc mahant]

Maharashtra is a well-off State.
If there are pockets of disparity where suicides are increasing- why can't the well off majority set up HELP-Centres in the depressed areas.
And why can't the Mumbaikar Politician/Lawmakers  sit for 2-3  months every year in Vidarbha and solve their basics.Why did you leave them to die ?
Or are the Maharashtrians no different from the other Hypocrites that is India--" Look the other way".
Delhi might say "We have Reservations FOR THEM -even in IITs/IIBM's-------"
OH INDIA,OH the "Greatest Democracy in the world" -- and inspite of so many great Economics Ph.D's at the helm!
And I ask these unfortunates' families-- Why did you not paralyse the system-but kept going to your own point of no return?
