Haveri: After Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister again, there will be a pro-farmer government in the state within one year, said former chief minister and Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency BJP candidate Basavaraj Bommai.

Addressing a series of campaigns in Ranebennur taluk on Saturday, he said one must be honest who wears the Kambali on the shoulder. He said whe he was the CM, a Rs 200 crore proposal was formulated to help each  sheep rearers association with Rs 8 lakh to buy the sheep. But this scheme had been stopped. If the state fails to implement the project again,then  he would implement the central government scheme to help the Halumatha community. There must be a pro-farmer government both in the state and union governments, and if Modi becomes the PM again, a pro-farmer government would come to power in the state.

Bommai said the country has seen several prime ministers in the last 75 years but none of them thought of providing individual tap connections. In the last four years, the Modi government had given 75 crore tap connections of which 30 lakhs in Karnataka. 

The Haveri Milk producers union has been established due to which the milk procurement had reached1.20 lakh litres from 80000 litres. The farmers were being given an additional Rs 3 per litre, he said. 

The state government did not have anything to fend itself. There has been no development in the last ten months as they have no plans for it. They have stopped the scheme of Kisan Sanman of giving Rs 4000 to each farmer as well as the raitha Vidya Nidhi and yashaswini.  This Anti farmer government must be kicked out, he gave a clarion call to the voters.
