Speaking at the function, he said that farmers do not require monetarily help of Rs 6,000 as they waste this much amount in consuming liquor.
"Farmers say that they don't want Rs 6,000 from the government. They definitely don't require this money because they usually waste this much on liquor," he said, adding that now his statement will become viral on social media.
