Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar ended a press conference abruptly in Kalaburagi on Tuesday when journalists asked him about local issues related to farmers who lost their red gram crop due to wilt disease.
Addressing the press conference, Mr. Tomar, who was listing out the welfare programmes launched by the Modi-led BJP government at the Centre, was taken aback when he was asked questions on issues related to farmers repeatedly.
At one time, Mr. Tomar pointed out at a journalist and asked him: “Have you taken a contract to ask all these questions?”
Meanwhile, Mr. Tomar’s personal secretary started videographing the journalists who were asking questions. And, the Minister abruptly ended the press conference, after a heated argument with the journalists.
