Postcard campaign by Cong.
Description
The district unit of the Congress has launched a postcard campaign in protest against the Centre for the passing three farm Bills recently, according to former Minister and MLA for Chittapur Priyank Kharge. The legislator, in a release on Monday, stated that to draw the attention of the BJP-led government, as many as 25,000 postcards from Kalaburagi district would be sent to the office of the President of India. Mr. Kharge said that Congress workers in district and taluk headquarters had collected 25,000 signatures from farmers in the district and 15,000 signatures from Chittapur taluk to send the voice of the farming community to the national capital demanding withdrawal of the “anti-farmer” laws. He also stated that the three farm Bills would open the door for private players to take over agriculture trade completely and also eliminate the Minimum Support Price system. The postcards will be sent to the President of India through the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office. The signed postcards have been submitted to KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar, Mr. Kharge said.
