The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold a farmers’ convention at the Maharaja College grounds here on October 26. Over 10,000 farmers from different parts of the State are expected to take part in the convention. District BJP president M. Shivanna said the convention has been organised as part of the party’s “Vision 2024”. Several issues such as growing of crops in an organic method, non-payment of insurance amount to farmers for the crop loss they had suffered in the last two years, non-payment of dues to sugarcane growers by sugar factories for the cane supplied, are some of the many topics that will be discussed threadbare at the convention. BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa will inaugurate the farmers’ convention. V. Srinivas Prasad, R. Ashok, B. Sriramulu, V. Somanna, C.H. Vijayashankar, and Pratap Simha are among the many leaders who are expected to take part in the convention.
