TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Hitting out at the Siddaramiah government for its ‘indifference’ towards implementing the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked the party’s Kisan Morcha workers in the state to convince farmers on the need for a government that is sensitive towards their issues.
In his address to BJP Kisan Morcha Karyakartas via the ‘Narendra Modi App’, the prime minister said agriculture and farmer welfare has always been the Bharatiya Janata Party’s legacy.”I keep getting complaints regarding Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana from Karnataka, but one of our MPs has done a great work in his constituency with the help of Kisan morcha workers,” he said.
Modi said, “The Karnataka government was indifferent…it did not care about the benefits that a farmer can get from the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana.” “If the state government was active during drought it would have benefited farmers, but they did not do it,” he added. Modi had on Tuesday launched his campaign blitzkrieg by addressing three public rallies in the poll-bound state.
