Dynamite News PM Modi failed to tackle farmers apathy in Karnataka, says Rahul
The Congress chief took to his Twitter handle to share a data, highlighting the initiative taken by the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government for the farmers and how they flunked to meet the expected outcome.
New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the condition of farmers in Karnataka and said that the Centre failed to tackle the apathy of the peasants.
The Congress chief took to his Twitter handle to share a data, highlighting the initiative taken by the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government for the farmers and how they flunked to meet the expected outcome.
The data showed that the Centre's contribution to waive off the loans in the Congress ruling state was none and the Prime Minister's crop insurance scheme only benefited the private insurance companies, rather than the farmers.
