THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has urged the government to pay full compensation to farmers of Kuttanad and other parts of the State who had suffered heavy crop loss on account of the summer rains. BJP State president P.K. Krishnadas told a news conference here on Saturday that his party would organise a ‘farmers’ satyagraha’ at Mankombu in Kuttanad on March 26 to protest against the “refusal of the CPI(M) and Kerala State Karshaka Thozhilali Union to allow mechanised harvesting in the locality” resulting in huge losses to the farmers. The satyagraha was also to press for payment of compensation announced in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and implementation of a farmer-friendly policy in Kuttanad, he said. Mr. Krishnadas termed the stand of the Central and State governments on the HMT land deal “anti-people and irresponsible.”
