Loan waiver: BJP plans protest from June 30

Bengaluru: Condemning Kumaraswamy Government for the delay in fulfilling its loan waiver promise, the Opposition BJP is gearing up for Statewide protests from June 30, if the CM fails to deliver on his promise. The protest will be organised by BJP’s Raitha Morcha from June 30 to July 15 in all the 224 Assembly segments of the State.

Even as CM H.D. Kumaraswamy has been maintaining that he is working on the scheme and that it will be announced shortly, the BJP has been mounting pressure on the State Government to announce complete farm loan waiver, including those availed by the farmers from Nationalised Banks.

BJP State President B.S. Yeddyurappa has formed six teams of leaders to stage protests and also hold interactions with farmers in all regions of the state.

The teams will be headed by former Minister Lakshman Savadi, leaders Shivaprasad, Shankargouda Patil, Eshwarchandra Hosamani, K.S. Nanjundegowda and Pavitra Ramaiah. While Lakshman Savadi will be incharge of Belagavi, Bagalkot, Vijayapura, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts, Shivaprasad will be incharge of Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagar, Chikkaballapur and Kolar districts; Shankargouda Patil will be incharge of Ballari, Bidar, Kalaburagi, Yadagiri and Raichur districts; Eshwarchandra Hosamani will be incharge of Haveri, Gadag, Dharwad, Koppal and Uttara Kannada districts; K.S.
