KPRS opposes land reforms bill
The Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha (KPRS) has opposed the new land reforms bill proposed by the state government.
KPRS president Maruti Manpade has said that the government is trying to expand the definition of the term ‘farmer’ in the new bill on Monday.
Manpade said the present BJP government is bringing in reforms which will allow the corporate bodies to directly purchase land from farmers for non-agriculture activities.
The other major section in the bill is the government is mooting contract farming. The farmers who sell their land to MNCs will be forced to work on their fields as labourers and the companies will make a large share of profit out of this.
A state-level level mega convention will be held by the KPRS and other organizations in Bangalore on July 7.
