Nationalist Congress Party (SP) President Sharad Pawar criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of failing to fulfil his promise to double farmers' income. Speaking at a rally in Barshi, Maharashtra, Pawar claimed that instead of increasing farmers' income, the BJP government's tenure has seen a doubling of farmer suicides, reported PTI. 

"The prime minister had promised to double the income of farmers, but instead, farmer suicides have doubled," he charged.
