Merchants of death

No, am not talking about Sonia's statement and the aftermath and am neither talking about Modi as enough has been written about both. This is about mockery of dead bodies in Maharashtra.

Amravati in Maharashtra is one of the worst hit areas for farmer community. The place has seen more than 500 suicides by the farmers so far. The state government has been shying away from helping them out of their woes citing bad economic conditions of the state treassury. Even the cheques given by PM bounced due to lack of funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But now the widows have a new gift from the government. They have a 400 crore International Airport. Can a mockery ever be more ruthless?

And the airport just because our President Pratibhu "who' Patil belongs to Amravati. So the parched lands of Amravati can watch airplanes fly by while their farmers hang themselves to death.
