TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav has attacked the Narendra Modi government over the tense situation in Madhya Pradesh and accused it of pursuing anti-farmer policies. Condemning police firing on the farmers in Madhya Pradesh, Lalu accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being deaf to the demands of the farmers.

‘See what his (Modi’s) Agriculture minister is doing here in Bihar when farmers are being killed in Madhya Pradesh. This government owes answers,” he said. Lalu was referring to Radha Mohan Singh attending a yoga session with Ramdev in his home town Motihari.

The RJD leader said that the BJP had promised subsidies to the farmers but the Union government has betrayed them.

He termed all allegations against her daughter Misa Bharti and son-in-law Shailesh as baseless and politically motivated.
