All India Kisan Sabha accuses Yogi govt of diverting attention from 'rural distress'

The All India Kisan Sabha has accused the Yogi Adityanath government of raking up the Ram temple issue for diverting people's attention from the "rural distress".

Dharampal Singh, the president of Kisan Sabha's Uttar Pradesh unit, said it was impossible for the state and the central government to fulfill their pre-poll commitments to farmers "simply because funds have dried up... they have been diverted to non farmer segments within the agriculture sector."
