Farmers are being treated unfairly by the APMC Act implemented by the bjp government. Even after four months since Siddaramaiah came to power, he has not done the work of revoking the Act, he said that Siddaramaiah has no desire to be in power and the interests of farmers are not waiting. He questioned why there was a need to release Cauvery water to tamil Nadu when there was a lack of rain in the state. Did the government make a mistake by releasing water to tamil Nadu? Bangarappa did not release water when he was the Chief Minister. Did the supreme court arrest him? Will the central government do such a bold thing? He said that Siddaramaiah should show such boldness that the people of the state will see.

Home minister Dr. G. Parameshwar has no common sense, if there was 12 thousand in Kobbari, why should we have come down to the streets and fought? He said that coconut storage has come down to 8,000, that is why they are marching to demand a support price of at least 20,000. He said that they would lay siege to Vidhana Soudha demanding that electricity privatization should be canceled and Aadhaar linking to agricultural pump sets should be abandoned, the electricity rates of agricultural pump sets should be reduced and grants should be released for all irrigation projects in the state.

The support price given by the JDS leader KT Shanthakumar government is unscientific, the congress government has fixed Rs 1250 on the basis of the support price fixed 15 years ago. He alleged that the announcement has been made but the government is not looking after the welfare of coconut farmers.

They said that they are not giving new cards to the farmers in Nafed, they are giving coir to private shops, Nafed officials are tricking the farmers, even though there is a demand for coir, they are not getting at least 10,000.

Thousands of crores of grants have been spent in the name of Ettinhola. Thousands of acres of land have been acquired in the name of the scheme, not even beyond Sakaleshpur. But till now no compensation has been given to the farmers, he said, the farmers have got into trouble after giving land for the project in Tipaturu sub-division. district President anand Patel said that the support price given by the state government has been declared lower than the support price fixed by the horticulture department, and coconuts are not grown under the support price announced by the government.
