KodihalliChandrashekhar, president ofKarnatakaRajya Raitha Sangha andHasiru Sene(KRRSHS), has urged the to revoke the amendments to laws on Land reforms and APMC introduced by the previous BJP government because they are detrimental to the farmers.
Chandrashekhar told reporters here on Tuesday that Karnataka Land Reforms Act-2020 paves the way for non-farmers to buy agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, while the APMC (Amendment) Act 2020-allows for selling agricultural produce outside the ambit of APMC.
However, CMSiddaramaiahclarified that he will verify the act. There is no need to verify because agricultural land shouldnt be commercialised. The government should revoke the act in this session, else we will teach a lesson to Congress, like how we taught BJP, he said.
