PM Narendra Modi says Akhilesh Yadav government is anti-farmer

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lashed out at Akhilesh Yadav-led government in Uttar Pradesh for being anti-farmer and having failed to implement the central government’s schemes meant for state farmers.
“There is a government in Uttar Pradesh which has nothing to do with development. This government is anti-farmer. Why is it that farmers don’t benefit from the Fasal Bima Yojana? Why they don’t help farmers in distress,” Modi said addressing an election rally at Rohaniya area of his parliamentary constituency Varanasi.
PM Modi also accused the Samajwadi Party-ruled state government of discriminating when it comes to employment or implementation of schemes.
