He demanded the government to extend a bonus of Rs.500 on the minimum support price offered to Yasangi crops.

Suman said the government had failed to support 209 farmers, who died by suicide due to losses in farming caused by erratic power supply while many auto-rickshaw drivers were forced to end their lives after the introduction of the free travel scheme for women.
