Addressing a press conference recently in Madikeri former MLA Appachu Ranjan has criticized the Congress-led state government which is harassing farmers unnecessarily by implementing anti-farmer policies and added that poor farmers are facing anxiety due to this.
Speaking further he said that after the Congress government came to power it had made a circular that wildlife products should be returned otherwise a case would be registered.
Then it suggested that a list of trees on private lands should be given. Thereby, the government conspired to establish rights over the trees planted by the plantation owners.
And now recently circular have been issued that C and D lands should be returned to the government. Farmers have made their living by growing coffee and cardamom in this land for many years and added that the government is following anti-farmer policies by issuing circular.
