The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) flayed the Union government for backtracking on promises on the implementation of Minimum Support Price on agricultural products.
Addressing a press conference in the city on Tuesday, Badagalpura Nagendra, president of KRRS, said the Modi government will soon complete 10 years in power and this period has been marked by neglect of farmers and implementation of anti-farmers policies.
He alleged that nearly 1.5 lakh farmers have died by suicide in the country since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister while as many as 782 farmers died during the protest against anti-farm law policies which lasted a year in Delhi.
