Raje govt should not overlook farmers' crisis: Pilot

Taking a dig at Vasundhare Raje's foreign trips, Congress today said her government should not overlook the plight of farmers while the Chief Minister attracts investment from outside India.
People particularly farmers did not get any advantage despite BJP being in power both at the Centre and the State, Rajasthan Congress Chief Sachin Pilot said.
He questioned the alleged delay in releasing funds for unseasonal rainfall affected farmers by the Centre and said there was no coordination between the two governments.
"We are not against investment but government's priority should be clear and it should first address the current crisis," he said.

"There are chances of draught and the government should decide right now which is more important," the former Union minister said.
He said the state government's focus was on inviting large scale investment but nothing was done for small scale industries which employ large number of people.
