Belagavi: The ten-day winter session of the State Legislature began at Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi this morning, amidst political heat from within the ruling coalition as well as outside, with the Opposition BJP planning to hold a rally of farmers in Belagavi against what it calls the apathy of the government in addressing farmer issues.
Adding to the coalition government’s woes, sugarcane farmers, who had withdrawn their protest a fortnight ago after a government assurance of convincing sugar factories to pay up dues before the commencement of the session, have resumed their protest as the promise is yet to be kept.
