COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MARXIST) 21 st Congress Samar Mukherjee Nagar Visakhapatnam, April 14 - 19, 2015 Resolution On m assive crop losses due to unseasonal rains and hailstorms The 21 st congress of the CPI(M) expresses serious concerns at the massiv e crop losses sustained by millions of peasants all over India due to the unseasonal rains and hailstorms during the last few weeks. According to official figures, over 106 lakh hectares of cultivable land has been seriously affected and the crop loss is w orth thousands of crores of rupees. Rabi crops like wheat , fruits and vegetables have been destroyed in at least fourteen states due to this natural calamity. Some of the major affected states include Jammu & Kashmir, Bengal, U ttar P radesh , Punjab, Harya na, Rajasthan, M adhya P radesh , Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, A ndhra P radesh and Telangana. Coming on top of drought in some of these states that has adversely affected the kharif crop, the destruction of the rabi crop due to unseasonal rains and hailst orms has broken the back of the peasantry and has driven innumerable peasants to suicide. The response of the BJP - led C entral G overnment and that of most state governments to this national tragedy has been condemnable to say the least. No immediate help to the peasantry in distress is forthcoming in the form of compensation. Hardly any succour can be expected from the notoriously inadequate crop insurance scheme either. Coming on top of the chronic agrarian crises which is a result of the neo - liberal po licies pursu ed by the Congress and BJP - led C entral G overnments over the last two decades which has led to peasant suicides to the tune of over 3 lakhs during this period, this latest tragedy has brought the peasantry to the brink of an abyss. Many more sui cides have been reported due to the current losses. The 21 st Congress of the CPI(M) demands that the C entral G overnment immediately sanction and provide full compensation to all peasants in the country and agricultural workers and artisans who are affect ed by this calamity; compensation for loss of human lives and livelihood; compensation must be assessed on a scientific and democratic basis; rad ical expansion of the MGNREGA is essential . It also demands that the state governments redouble their efforts for providing relief to the affected people . The 21 st Congress of the CPI(M) stands in solidarity with India’s farmers and the demand for relief. ***
