Farmers' suicides a national agony, says Modi

Yavatmal/Wardha (Maharashtra): BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Thursday interacted via video conferencing with around 1,500 farmers from across the country, and said farmers committing suicide after being hit by natural calamities or economic crises

Modi called for land reforms and surveys every 30 years, the need to invest in agri-technology, and exploiting barren land to improve output.

He also spoke about bank loans to farmers and going soft in recoveries during natural crises.

In Wardha, Modi proposed a formula for ending farmers' misery.

"We want a 5-F formula - farm, fibre, fabric, fashion and foreign (exports) - to help the cotton producing farmers," Modi said at a rally amidst applause from the farming community.

Attacking the Congress-led government at the centre, he said all they want is to win the elections but they neither understand the nation's needs nor how to take India forward.
