Countering Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s claim that there was no suicide by farmers in West Bengal, Governor M K Narayanan today said such incidents were “unfortunately” taking place in the state.
Narayanan also said that a way has to be found to prevent the recurrence of suicides by farmers.
“Farmers’ suicide is an issue engaging the attention of both the Centre and the state government. Such incidents are unfortunately taking place ... We have to find a way to ensure that this does not happen,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an event to mark the 116th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
“Many of them I suppose were deeply in debt. You have to ask Jairam Ramesh what can be done about this because he is in-charge of rural programmes,” he said.
