In Bengal, famine is imminent, as a result of  Modi’s murderous cash ban:

Demonetisation has hit citizens across India, but it is the lower stratas of society that are struggling the most with the currency ban. Farmers in Bengal have said that if the situation carries on for 15 days more, the state could be headed for a famine as the state stares at an impending food shortage.

Bengal as a state relies heavily on agriculture and 70% of the rural economy has been hit hard by PM Modi’s demonetisation move. The paddy planted in the last season is ready for reaping, but the farmers can’t do anything about it. They cannot sell their harvest. 50% of the total cultivation – 20 lakh hectares of paddy – are lying in their fields, untouched.

With all this produce on the verge of being wasted, farmers fear that a famine-like situation is highly possible due to food shortage.”
