CM Parameshwara responds to critics: Farmers' compensation is about justice, not restrictive conditions

Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara stated that farmers need 'just compensation' rather than 'misleading talk.' Responding to opposition leader R. Ashoka's criticism that the government imposed 17 conditions for aid distribution, he stated that portraying these 17 points as mandatory conditions for farmers is misleading. He clarified that the government plans to deposit the first installment of interim compensation to eligible farmers starting Monday, and the next installment will be distributed immediately after the central government releases the NDRF funds.
