Mysuru, Dec 8: Farmers Association including Karnataka State Sugar Cane Growers Association’s has flayed the State government's decision of entrusting the task of purchasing paddy to Rice Mill owners.
In a press release issued here on Saturday, Kabini Farmers Hitarakshana Samiti President Kurbur Shanthakumar said the government may have announced a Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs 1,750 a quintal for the Paddy and set up procurement Centres in different parts of the State, but “unfortunately, it has entrusted the Rice Mill owners to purchase the paddy", he alleged.
The government should have purchased the paddy through the Food Corporation of India (FCI), which would have forced the Rice Mill owners to offer a remunerative price to farmers for the paddy in competition.
The government is depriving the farmers of an opportunity to sell their paddy for a competitive price by entrusting the task to Rice Mill owners to purchase it.

HDK is a bourgeois.. He never stood for farmers. He wanted to make feudal age again in Karntaka. No govt stood for farmers except BJP govt
It shows HDK's obsession towards feudalism.
