Congress leader Sachin Pilot today accused the BJP-led Rajasthan government of neglecting the issues of farmers.
In a statement issued here, the Rajasthan party unit chief blamed the state government for driving a garlic cultivator in Kota to suicide.
Unable to fetch a suitable price for his produce, Prem Chand of Natoda Maliya village took the extreme step, Pilot said.
The Congress leader alleged that the Vasundhara Raje government's announcement of forming a committee to look into the agrarian troubles was a way of "suppressing farmers' protest".
No committee was formed when loan waiver announcement was made in Punjab, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, Pilot added.
