Accusing the BJP of ignoring the agriculture sector, Rajasthan Pradesh Congress president Sachin Pilot today alleged that hundreds of farmers have committed suicide in the state because of the Raje government's policies. Pilot said Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje should tell people that how farmers' suicides have increased the pride of the state as she is taking out the 'Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra.'

Raje began her Yatra on Saturday. She will cover 165 out of total 200 assembly constituencies during the yatra which will culminate in Ajmer's Pushkar town on September 30. He said that chief minister is taking out her yatra but on the other hand, the "pride of the state" is being hurt with incidents of suicide by farmers. "Ignorance towards agriculture and farmers increased in the BJP government's rule. Hundreds of farmers have committed suicide because of the government's policies," he alleged in a statement.
