Varuna MLA Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the country has never seen a coward PM like Modi.
Speaking at a protest condemning the hike in fuel prices in Nanjangud, the MLA said, "Though the farmers are protesting for the last 75 days in Delhi, the PM has failed to resolve the issue and is defending the agriculture policies."
The PM addresses the nation through his radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, but he never comes before the media. “Are the farmers fools to oppose the policies that are beneficial for them? As they understand the consequences, they are opposing it,” he said.
The government which has to resolve the issues is conspiring to control the protesters. Even Chief Minister B S Yediyurppa has failed to speak to the agitating farmers in the state. If anyone raises voice against the government they are branded as traitors, he slammed.
