Days after Amitabh Bachchan wrote off the debts of 90 farmers in the Indian state of Maharashtra, those in the state of Uttar Pradesh have written to the Bollywood star in the hope that he would do the same for them. In a letter to Bachchan, a farmer from the area has told the star he comes from Uttar Pradesh and that the debt ridden farmers of his area were looking to him to come to their rescue. In the letter, the farmers pointed out how they were being pressurised by private money lenders and some banks, forcing some farmers to commit suicide. The umbrella body of farmers also made a fervent appeal to the state government to come to their help. Bachchan had, last Saturday, given cheques to 90 farmers to repay their debt. The cheques total around Rs.30 lakh, all of which was donated by Bachchan.
