Hundreds of farmers tried to lay siege to the office of Mysuru MP Pratap Simmha here on Monday accusing him of failing in his duties to bring the farmers’ problems to the notice of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre.
The farmers were stopped by the police when they tried to enter the MP’s office and they raised slogans against the MP. “The MP is accessible to us and we need help to find him,” the protesting farmers remarked when they did not get access to Mr. Simmha’s office for putting forth their demands.
They alleged that the MP stayed away from his office though his office was informed about the farmers’ visit.
