Buddha says Govt, not individual, to blame for agri-crisis

Seeking to clear the air over his criticism of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Sunday said the Government and its policy-makers and not any individual were responsible for the crisis in the agriculture sector. "I am not blaming any person. I am blaming the Government. The Government and those who decide its policies lack foresight. It is because of their point of view that the country is facing such a crisis,' Bhattacharjee told a private channel.
