Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the BJP-led government in the state had succeeded in curbing the farmer suicides by 40 per cent in the worst-affected Yavatmal district of Vidarbha.

“With ‘Baliraja Chetna Abhiyan’ we are able to reduce number of farmer suicides by almost 40 percent in this most-affected Yavatmal district, and our efforts will not cease till we ensure that not a single farmer takes the extreme step,” he said.
