Activists associated with All India Kisan Khet Majdoor Sangathan (AIKKMS) staged a demonstration outside the office of the Deputy Commissioner in Kalaburagi on Tuesday putting forward various demands related to the farm sector, including a law on Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farm produces.
The agitating activists said that the BJP-led Union government is least concerned about farmers who have been hit hard by skyrocketing prices of farm inputs and falling prices for farm produces.
“The constantly rising prices of farm inputs, including fertilizers, seeds and pesticides, and the falling prices for farm produces are the result of the Union government’s capitalist-oriented policies. The minimum subsidies that were being offered on farm inputs have been withdrawn. The farming community across the country is facing a deep crisis,” an activist said.
