Ashoka: Siddaramaiah govt "insensitive" to farmers, Karnataka ranks 2nd in suicides

  • LoP R Ashoka criticized the Siddaramaiah government for lacking "sensitivity" on North Karnataka and farmer issues, claiming the CM hasn't fulfilled promises.
  • Ashoka highlighted unfulfilled promises including a Rs 5,000 crore revolving fund for farmers, a natural disaster management fund, and increased milk incentives.
  • Karnataka ranks second nationally in farmer suicides, with 2,422 cases in the last 2.5 years, according to Ashoka.
  • Ashoka alleged that funds for the Gruha Lakshmi scheme are sourced from increased liquor prices, and farmer relief was delayed due to guarantee schemes.
