Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) state president Badagalapura Nagendra on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be ashamed for creating hurdles with barbed wire fencing, to stop the farmers. The Union government managed to disconnect internet and electricity before calling the protesting farmers for formal talks, he alleged.
In a press conference here, Nagendra said, "The farmers are not seeking amendment to the three Farm Acts but, demanding to withdraw them. The policies will be a threat to the agriculture sector and affect 80 crore people."
Alleging conspiracy behind the policies, Nagendra also said that there was a need for second freedom struggle to protect the values of Independent India.
