Deputy Speaker and Haveri MLA Rudrappa Lamani and Byadgi MLA Basavaraj Shivannavar have appealed to farmers not to misunderstand the statement of Haveri district in-charge Minister Shivanand Patil on farmers suicides.
Addressing a joint press conference in Haveri on Wednesday, Mr. Lamani and Mr. Shivannavar said that Mr. Patil has no intention of hurting the farmers or insulting the farmers and his statement has been wrongly presented.
Mr. Lamani said that it is being projected that because of high compensation, there has been an increase in farmers suicides, which was not what was intended.
