BJP President Rajnath Singh today said the UPA government should not put the onus of fighting price rise and drought-like conditions prevailing in the country on the state governments as the latter had limited resources.     

"The Prime Minister knows that the resources of the state governments are limited. Reports have been sent by several state governments to the Centre that there are drought-like conditions in their state and they need help.The Prime Minister should also talk to the chief ministers on this issue," Singh told reporters in reply to a question.
