Karnataka News | Sugarcane Farmers In Belgavi On Massive Day-Night Protest
A massive farmer protest in Karnataka’s Belagavi has escalated into a full-blown political flashpoint. Sugarcane farmers are holding round-the-clock demonstrations demanding a fair price for their crop — saying deductions are slashing their actual earnings by nearly ₹900 per ton. The BJP has jumped in — with state party chief BY Vijayendra even spending the night at the protest site — turning this agrarian agitation into a political pressure point on the Congress government. The Chief Minister says the FRP is fixed by the Centre — while ministers are now being sent for negotiations. Will the farmers get a better deal — or will this standoff turn into another Centre vs State battle?
