Coalition govt.
Yeddyurappa has said that the party leaders would visit the drought-affected areas in the State to get first-hand knowledge of the condition of farmers and also about crop loss.
The issue would also be raised in the State Legislature.
The State government has not taken any steps to alleviate the problems of farmers in the drought-affected areas and instead, the Congress and the Janata Dal(S) leaders are busy in looting public money in the name of development, he said.
“When asked about drought relief works, the State government points its fingers towards the Union government and blames Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Commenting on the loan waiver announced by the State government, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that the State government has not given any clear information to farmers and it is wasting time by misguiding them.
Bharat Ratna Answering to a question, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that he would make sincere efforts to convince the Union government of the need to honour the Tumakuru Siddaganga Mutt seer, Sri Shivakumara Swamiji, who passed away recently, with Bharat Ratna for his service in the field of education.
