Karnataka farmers' group demands clarity on farm law amendments from state government

thehindu.com February 5, 2025, 01:01 PM UTC

Karnataka farmers' group, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS), has asked the state government to clarify its plans regarding amendments to farm laws made by the previous BJP administration. They claim the Congress government has not fulfilled promises from its 2023 election manifesto. KRRS leaders, including president Badagalpura Nagendra, expressed concern that the Congress government continues BJP policies, particularly regarding the corporatisation of agriculture. They noted that the Congress opposed these amendments while in opposition but has not repealed them since taking power. The farmers feel betrayed as the Congress has not implemented key promises, such as legalizing Minimum Support Price and dropping cases against farmers. The KRRS warns that continued inaction may lead to protests.
