Farmers representing Federation of Karnataka Farmers’ Association and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers gathered outside the office of Pratap Simha, BJP MP, in Mysuru on Monday, September 4, and displayed their ire over the Lok Sabha MPs from Karnataka failing to raise the Cauvery issue and seek justice for Karnataka.
The activists, who were concerned about the plunging water storage levels in the reservoirs of Cauvery basin following the release of water to Tamil Nadu, criticised the BJP MPs from Karnataka for their failure to raise the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Can’t they stage a demonstration in front of the Parliament and draw the country’s attention to the plight of Karnataka’s farmers?” asked farmers’ leader Attihalli Devaraj.
