BJP, JDS members stage walk out from Karnataka Assembly over cane growers issue

Raising the issue, Opposition BJP Leader Jagadish Shettar alleged that the government has failed to commit itself to pay Rs 2,500 per tonne to sugarcane growers and charged that it was in favour of sugar lobby.

Dubbing the government "anti-farmers", he said it has been talking about taking action against mill owners but in reality nothing had happened.
   
JDS Floor Leader H D Kumaraswamy asked the government to pay farmers first and recover the amount later from sugar factories.
