Madikeri, Dec 3: The BJP Raitha Morcha staged a demonstration in front of the city's district collector's office, accusing the state Congress government of having an anti-farmer stance.
The state Congress government has reduced the additional Rs. 4 thousand that the state BJP government was providing together with Rs. 6 thousand from the central government's Kisan Samman initiative.
Although farmers in Kodagu are losing crops and lives as a result of wild animal attacks, the government is not providing long-term aid. The Congress government has also abandoned the farmers' children's education fund, which was established while the BJP government was in control in the state. Although heavy rains have damaged coffee, black pepper, areca nut, and other crops in the district, the government is failing to do a survey, which is unfair to the farmers. For hundreds of years, C&D has existed throughout the district.
The demonstrators claimed that the state government was attempting to evict farmers who had built houses and cultivated land on the property, and they chanted slogans against the state administration, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister, and the relevant ministers.
"People are hurting" — Ranjan
Speaking at the demonstration, former minister M.P. Appachchu Ranjan stated that the CM and DCM are competing for the chief minister's position, and that as a result, the administration is not functioning correctly, and the people suffer. Ranjan stated that the CM and DCM should stop holding breakfast meetings immediately, and that the state forest minister is releasing circulars that are causing problems for farmers, which we oppose. Since the Congress took power in the state, prices have risen, and the general public has suffered. Appachchu Ranjan asked that the government stand down immediately.
