Kamal Nath slams BJP govt in MP

Bhopal, Sep 12 (UNI) Veteran Congress leader and Madhya Pradesh's erstwhile Chief Minister Kamal Nath today accused the state's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dispensation of constant malicious behaviour towards peasants.
"The ryot is bearing harassment at every level, but the Congress shall struggle for his rights and ensure justice. In many districts, cultivators are vexed over excessive rainfall, but proper assistance was not extended by the government.
For the past couple of months, the farmer has been going from pillar to post for fertiliser, but the BJP government could not supply the same.
