Bhopal, July 21: In a bizarre reply on farmers suicide, the Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bhupendra Singh held ghosts responsible for farmer deaths in the state.
"Bhoot, pret, upari saya" (apparitions), not crop loss, were forcing farmers to take the extreme step, said Singh while replying to a question on farmer suicides at Sehore district in the Assembly on Wednesday.
