Krishna Byre Gowda buys 35,000 kg vegetables from farmers, distributes in his constituency
Bengaluru: Former minister Krishna Byre Gowda purchased as many as 35,000 kilo grams of vegetables from farmers, who were in distress due to the nation-wide lockdown. He then distributed the vegetables among the people in his constituency free of cost.
On Friday, Krishna Byre Gowda distributed vegetable bags at several places in his constituency, including in Kempapur, Bharathinagar and Hunasemaranahalli in the city.
Farmers in Bengaluru outskirts have grown vegetables, including radishes, brinjalm and tomatoes, and were reluctant to bring them to market. Noticing this, Krishna Byre Gowda visited their farms and bought vegetables and distributed among the people.
In addition, he distributed essential food items including rice and pulses among thousands of poor families in his constituency.
