Impostors masquerading as farmers: JD(S)

BANGALORE: JD(S) general secretary Y S V Datta has expressed doubt over the identity of the farmers of Mundargi who called on Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and offered their land for the proposed Posco steel plant.
"It seems that the show of farmers pleading before the chief minister to take over the land is stagemanaged. I doubt whether all those who had come to the Yeddyurappa's home office are the real land holders, because a random check of the farmers conducted by us revealed that the majority of them were unaware of the purpose of their visit to the CM," Datta told Express here on Friday.Elaborating on his suspicions of the identity of the farmers, Datta said hundreds of farmers had assembled at the meeting of former CM H D Kumaraswamy at Mundargi and other villages where they stated that they do not part with their land.
