After ‘PayCM’, it’s ‘Payfarmer’, as Raitha Sangha expresses anger over ‘govt apathy’
Chamarajanagar: Members of the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha in the district have come to the streets staging a campaign with posters and slogans demanding the government to provide better relief to farmers.
The campaign was launched recently in Gundlupet, Chamarajanagar district, where ‘Payfarmer’ posters were put up on the walls of the guest house in the town.
The posters, incidentally, are similar in looks to the ‘PayCM’ poster that raised much hue and cry in the state a few days back.
Shivapura Mahadevappa, farmer leader, said, “The problem of farmers does not subside regardless of the party in power. No government pays attention to the needs of farmers. Some people are so focused on gaining power that they are disinterested in the overall development of agriculture and farmers.”
The leader also demanded that a suitable price be fixed for the farm produces.
