MAGADI (BANGALORE RURAL DISTRICT): Ministers from the Janata Dal (Secular) Ministers said on Saturday that the coalition government in the State is implementing programmes that were delineated in the election manifesto of the party. Addressing party workers after inaugurating work on projects at Sankighatta in Magadi taluk, the Deputy Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah, said the Government has reduced the price of rice distributed through the public distribution system from Rs. 6. to Rs. 3, waived penal and compound rate of interest on farmers' loans and directed cooperative banks to provide loans to farmers at six per cent rate of interest. On account of the "pro-farmer" policy of the Government, no case of farmer suicide has been reported in the past 10 months, he claimed. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which took out a "Raj Bhavan Chalo" against the Government here on Friday, is a party of the rich people, Mr. Siddaramaiah said. It has no sympathy for the cause of farmers and the poor, he alleged. The Minister for Industries and Infrastructure, P.G.R. Sindhia, said projects worth over Rs. 300 crores have been sanctioned for the Bangalore Rural District. Four industrial estates will come up soon in Nelamangala, Ramanagara, Doddaballapur and Magadi, he said.
