BJP State president and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra has urged the Congress government to do justice to the purpose of holding the winter session in the city of Belagavi by taking up 13 irrigation projects of North Karnataka at a cost of ₹5,700 crore for which the erstwhile BJP government had given clearance.
“The previous BJP government had given sanction to 13 irrigation projects in North Karnataka region to be taken up at a cost of ₹5,700 crore. I request the Congress government to take up these projects which would contribute to the development of this region,” Mr. Vijayendra said, while participating in a debate on the issues related to North Karnataka region in the Legislative Assembly on December 15.
Expressing concern over the plight of sugarcane farmers, he urged the government to provide an incentive of ₹25,000 to ₹30,000 per acre.
