Give farmers Rs 50,000 per acre or admit financial crisis: Vijayendra

Bengaluru, Sept 29 (UNI) BJP Karnataka president Vijayendra Yediyurappa on Tuesday demanded that the Congress government provide at least Rs 50,000 per acre to drought-hit farmers and challenged it to openly admit that the state's financial position was in distress if it was unable to extend such relief.
Addressing a press conference here, Vijayendra said farmers were facing severe hardship amid the drought and alleged that the government had failed to provide adequate assistance, offering only Rs 2,500 per acre.
"Give farmers Rs 50,000 per acre as demanded by the Opposition. If the state's financial condition is such that compensation cannot be provided, then the government should admit it openly," he said.
