KRRS to hold district-level conventions to lend momentum to farmers’ struggle

In a bid to lend momentum in Karnataka to farmers’ struggle against the Centre’s new farm laws, all factions of the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) are set to come together to hold farmers’ conventions in different places from March 20. Announcing this at a press conference here on Friday, KRRS leader Chukki Nanjundaswamy said the KRRS and the Hasiru Sene would organise district-level farmers’ conventions in several places starting from Shivamogga on March 20 in the first phase. The conventions are being held to create awareness among not only farmers, but also the general public about the “negative impact” of three major laws ushered in by the Centre on the agricultural sector, she said.
