The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) has condemned the Centre’s alleged highhandedness against the protesting farmers in Delhi.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Wednesday, KRRS leader Badagalapura Nagendra said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has proved yet again that it was ‘anti-farmer’ by putting up barriers against the farmers’ march in Delhi and even resorting to their caning.
He recalled that the BJP government at the Centre had similiarly tried to “suppress” the farmers’ agitation in 2020. After 383-day-long agitation, the Centre buckled under pressure and promised certain welfare measures for the farmers including introduction of a law guaranteeing minimum support price for withdrawing their protest.
