SIRSA: Haryana agriculture minister
O P Dhankar has once again stirred up a hornet's nest over
compensation to the
farmers affected by crop loss.
During a programme in Sirsa on Friday, Dhankar said, "Kisano ko muawza dene ke baad mera mann naachne ko kar raha hai (After paying compensation to the farmers I feel like dancing)."
When mediapersons asked Dhankar about the statement, he said, "I said it because it is only the BJP government that did not delay in providing compensation to the farmers after the special assessment.
Farmers in Haryana received compensation a few days after 'girdawari.' I feel happy for my farmer brothers."
