Shivasena on Wednesday criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for extending a billion dollar line of credit to Mongolia, saying that the latter had not shown the same interest to aid the farmers of Maharashtra who were reeling from debt. The Shiv Sena reportedly stated this in an editorial of its mouth piece 'Saamana'. "The PM has announced a $1 billion aid to Mongolia, so that relations between the two countries can be further cemented. The PM has taken moral responsibility for development of this small nation. But, this is not a small amount. This will only aggravate the pain of souls of farmers who have committed suicide," the Sena published in an editorial. About 35,000 farmers in the state committed suicide between 2004 and 2014 and over 600 farmers have killed themselves between January and March 2015.
