Bengaluru, Mar 27 (DHNS): Legislative Assembly Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa on Thursday criticised the government for not coming to the rescue of farmers who are being evicted from their lands by forest officials.
Intervening during a discussion on budget proposals in the Assembly, Thimmappa said, “Farmers who have applied before Bagair Hukum committee for regularisation of land should not be evicted. But there are complaints that the eviction of farmers continues. What is happening ? Where are the ministers ? Are they not concerned ?” he fumed.
Thimmappa continued, “What is the government doing? What sort of administration is this?”
Ministers, including Kimmane Ratnakar, Krishna Byre Gowda, remained silent spectators.
