Farmers’ associations want leaders attending winter session in Belagavi, starting December 4, to come and stay in villages and not hotels or government guest houses. These village stays will help the leaders realise the problems faced by villagers and farmers, particularly as they are hit by drought, they said.
“We have more than a thousand members who are willing to host the MLAs and MLCs. I think we can accommodate the 300 legislators. They need not go looking for hotels or guest houses in Belagavi, Dharwad, or even Hubballi,” said Choonappa Pujari, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha leader. He was among the leaders who submitted a memorandum to the government in this regard.
