In Lucknow, the chief of SP, Akhilesh Yadav, on Saturday asserted that farmers, youths, and sundry individuals face torment from usurers, compelling some to tragically end their lives during the BJP regime.

From the central hub of the Samajwadi Party (SP), Yadav voiced, “Farmers and youths endure the repercussions of erroneous BJP governance. Agriculturalists suffer from insufficient remuneration for their yields. The financial burden of agriculture mounts, entwining farmers in a web of indebtedness.”

Allegations abound as the SP chief cited a youthful farmer from Etawah who succumbed to the pressures of creditors. Furthermore, he lamented the purportedly staggering statistic of over one hundred thousand farmer suicides due to inflation and financial liabilities over the past decade of BJP rule.

The reference harks to a tragic incident in the jurisdiction of Chauvia police station, Etawah district, where a farmer, beleaguered by debt, resorted to hanging himself from a tree in his field.

Mansoor Ahmed, the station in-charge inspector (SHO) of Chauvia, narrated the demise of Vikas Jatav (30), who met his untimely end by hanging in a village within the station’s purview on the eve of Thursday.

The erstwhile Uttar Pradesh premier contended that farmers, youths, and the populace writ large encounter tribulations at the hands of usurers under the BJP administration. The specter of creditor-induced distress coerces individuals to extreme measures, he appended.

“The policy directives of the BJP administration exhibit a proclivity against the downtrodden and agrarian populace, tailored to favor vested interests,” he asseverated. Yadav underscored the pervasive atmosphere of dread engendered by creditors throughout the state under BJP governance.
