If everything is running properly then what's driving farmers to end their lives in India?

Is it really an achievement which government will count as or will it be a disappointment for them, where the farmers in several states have ended their lives due to the burden of debt? within a week four farmers in Madhya Pradesh have found dead due to the same reason.

Is it really an achievement which government will count as or will it be a disappointment for them, where the farmers in several states have ended their lives due to the burden of debt? within a week four farmers in Madhya Pradesh have found dead due to the same reason.

Rajasthan is the state where the same government is ruling and in Rajasthan, such three cases have been seen since April. Even as BJP makes tall claims about doing better works.

In MP, during the week, three farmers died while standing in queues outside mandi to sell their produce. Betul in MP was rocked by two farmer suicides on Friday and Saturday. The third case was reported from Chhatarpur, which is reeling from drought, and the fourth happened in Tikamgarh. In all four cases, farmers were reportedly under debt.

In Rajasthan, farmers are committing suicide because of the plenty of problems. There is a bumper garlic crop for which they are not getting the right price. This is driving them to suicide. There seems to be no government that is taking care of the farmers in India. It's been a serious issue but, till when it will continue like this and the farmers will keep jeopardizing their lives.
