This is not to say that Bhavantar or government's work has not benefited the farmers. Things could have been a lot worse without the scheme.

One can say that Chouhan Mamaji is in big trouble..

And now the leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and former J&K chief minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, of the Congress said that informal talks were underway to explore the formation of a new government in J&K.
