Minister for Agriculture and Minister in charge of Mandya district N. Cheluvarayaswamy came down heavily on the call for Mandya bandh given BJP-JD(S) on February 9.
“What is the reason for which they have called for a bandh? Is it for the sake of problems faced by the farmers, Cauvery issue, or for drought relief from the Centre?,” he questioned while speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Friday.
The Congress party would have also extended support if the bandh had been called for benefit of the people, he said before terming the bandh call as “shameful”.
