‘He spoke on everything but the farmers’ agitation’The Congress on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “showing insensitivity” towards farmers. The party said while Mr. Modi spoke on everything from “garbage to animals” in his last ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcast of the year, he did not mention the farmers’ agitation. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on garbage to animals in his last ‘Mann Ki Baat’ but did not speak a word about the farmers’ agitation. Surely, a Prime Minister who as a tea-seller has spent time on railway platforms should understand the pains of the farmers,” Mr. Bittu said at a press conference here. The farmers have been sitting on protest for 32 days now, many have died due the biting cold.
