Attacking Narendra Modi for letting the farmers down in Karnataka, Congress President Rahul Gandhi in a report card gave the Prime Minister an ‘F’ Grade for his performance in the agricultural sector in the state.
Gandhi, in a Tweet, said the Prime Minister’s crop insurance scheme has made the “farmers suffer” while filling the coffers of the private insurance companies that have made “huge profits”.
