President of Samaj Parviartana Samudaya and anti-graft crusader S.R. Hiremath has urged the electorate of Belagavi Lok Sabha Constituency and Maski and Basavakalyan Assembly constituencies to defeat the BJP in the bypolls as a reply to the anti-farmer and anti-people policies followed by the party.
Addressing presspersons in Dharwad on Wednesday, Mr. Hiremath said that despite the widespread protests and opposition, the BJP-led Union government was going ahead with the implementation of the anti-farmer and anti-constitutional policies.
He said that thousands of farmers were staging agitation for the last 90 days at borders of New Delhi seeking repeal of the contentious farm laws. However, the Union government had been apathetic towards the demands of the farmers and was bent on handing over the farm sector to the corporate houses, which was detrimental to Indian farmers, he said.

We do not know what type of bargain they would make with us. Shall
