Claiming that 1,300 farmers from Maharashtra have committed suicide over the past six months due to drought, the NCP on Wednesday blamed the government for its apathy.
NCP chief spokesperson Nawab Malik asked when would the farmers get out of the "vicious circle" of drought.
"The one who feeds the world finds himself trapped in the vicious circle of drought. 1,300 farmers have committed suicide in Maharashtra over the past six months," he tweeted.
"A picture has emerged that the one feeding the entire world is facing drought, crop loss and government's apathy," Malik said in the tweet.
