After Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh seems to have joined the growing list of National Democratic Alliance ministers trying to reach out to the common man through social media platforms.
Singh heard the plight of one Sumit Dass from Keonjhar district in Odisha, who wanted to open a dairy project in his district but could not connect with either the local minister of agriculture or Singh.
Dass had applied online for subsidy under the Agriculture Policy of 2013. He tweeted his plight and tagged Singh's Twitter handle and was pleasantly surprised when the minister replied. Singh spoke to the state agriculture minister and some others to get the work done.
