Mangaluru, Sep 8: Even though Narendra Modi led union government is accused of perusing anti-people policies, his Bharatiya Janata Party’s Karnataka unit is all set to take out a ‘Raita Chaitanya Yatre’ as part of its campaign to build public opinion against Siddaramaiah led Congress government in Karnataka.
BJP’s “pro-farmer” rally in Karnataka comes amidst amidst ongoing protest by farmers across India against the alleged anti-farmer provisions in the Land Acquisition Bill, 2015 proposed by the Centre.
Nalin Kumar Kateel, the Dakshina Kannada MP and BJP leader told media persons on Tuesday that the Yatre would be held under the leadership of state BJP chief Pralhad Joshi on September 11 near Brahmashri Narayana Guru Mandir, B C Road in Bantwal.
Holding the chief minister Siddaramaiah and his team responsible for the endless suicide of farmers in Karnataka, Mr Kateel accused the Congress party of playing with the lives of farmers and poor people.
The Karnataka government has completely failed solve the problems faced by the farmers in the state and it has made no attempt to increase the morale of the hapless ‘kisan’.
“For the past three-four months, each and every day, we are hearing the news of farmers’ suicide in draught hit parts of the state. But ministers in Congress government are only concerned about their ministry,” he said.
He said that despite the Central government sanctioned Rs 6,000 crores to sugarcane farmers including around Rs 1,400 crores to Karnataka, the state government has failed to send an estimate of loss to the farmers and factories.
