The Congress president’s tweet came a day after PM Modi held the Siddaramaiah Government responsible for the miserable condition of the state farmers.
He attacked Karnataka’s Congress government over its alleged distance towards executing the crop insurance scheme to insult them against crop loss.
"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, however, did not name the MP.
"The Karnataka government is indifferent...it does not care about the benefits that a farmer can get from the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana," he said.
