No empathy for farmers?Our knowledge/trust in Bhagavad Gita?

While the Karnataka CM delegation is asking for thousands of crores for drought relief in their state...Here in TN farmers are committing suicides and our leaders seems so insensitive to the whole drought situation thats worsening day by day...
Maharashtra banned IPL, but here we continue our craze with cricket and films and what not when state farmers are dying...
The media which talks a lot about politicians can do a better job to highlight the plight of farmers...even they seems occupied with other stories...Why this indifference?
Neither the spiritual leaders in the country wakes up to this and ask their followers to do some contribution to farmers...
Country wants to get rid of black money, lets do something to remove the blackness that has surrounded the hearts of people first. Even the spiritual leaders seems no good as they want to enter entrepreneur race rather than empathy for the farmers...
Wish someone takes and makes our hearts to feel the pain of the state's farmers, before it takes our own lives or affects it with the coming of summer.
While Bhagad Gita mentions clearly to perform Yagas to get rain, the spiritual leaders and so busy making money with their Yogas...Wonder where we are heading towards?

‘However, we need the grace of the gods if we are to be blessed with rains. To deserve such grace we must perform sacrifices. Otherwise there will be no rains on earth. The result will be famine or the rain will fall into the sea and not on land, or it will be either ativrsti (too much rain) or anavrsti (no rain). We have to depend on the denizens of the celestial world to send us the right quantity of rain to create abundance on this planet.’
