On the eve of the BJP's statewide 'Kisan Akrosh Andolan' in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress has accused the Centre of turning a blind eye to damages caused to the state by heavy rains.

The BJP's agitation on Monday aims to pin the Kamal Nath government on failure to provide relief to rain-affected farmers.

Attacking the Centre, Abhay Dubey, vice president of MP Congress media cell said, "Out of 52 districts, 39 were affected due to heavy rains. Crops spread over 60.47 lakh hectares worth Rs 16,270 crore were damaged."
