Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje on Friday hit out at the Left government in Kerala over the recent suicide of a paddy farmer in the Kuttanad region and accused it of failing to utilise the funds of the Central government for farmer welfare.
She alleged that the Pinarayi Vijayan government was not serious about farmers’ issues and accused it of indulging in corruption.
The Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare was talking to reporters at Sabarimala after offering worship at the Lord Ayyappa temple here when it was opened for the annual Mandalam-Makaravilakku festival.
