The BJP has called for a drought relief package of ₹25,000 per acre for farmers in Karnataka, criticizing the Congress government for its handling of the crisis.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a demand for a drought relief package of ₹25,000 per acre for farmers in Karnataka, citing the severe water shortages that have affected the state's agricultural sector.
The call comes amid a prolonged dry spell that has left many farmers struggling to maintain crop yields and has led to increased financial distress across the region.
BJP leaders have criticized the ruling Congress government for what they describe as inadequate support and slow implementation of relief measures, urging the central government to act swiftly.
The demand, if accepted, would represent a significant increase in relief funds and could influence the political dynamics ahead of upcoming elections.
