Jai Kumar Singh's convoy ran over a farming land in Jalaun on Wednesday.

Later, Jai Kumar Singh gave Rs 4,000 as compensation to the affected farmer. But the farmer was apparently disappointed over minister's gesture.

Farmer Devendra Kumar told a private TV channel that his crops worth Rs 25,000 were destroyed, but he got compensation of only Rs 4,000 for the loss.

He claimed he had taken loan to sow the seeds in his field.

The farmer further said that he would have earned Rs 50,000 from the crops.
