Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Monday said it was the Centre's responsibility to offer a solution, stating that the state government had taken 'costly' steps to address issues facing sugarcane and maize farmers.
Tasking a jibe at the state congress leadership, Gowda claimed that the leaders are "playing kabbadi," with even Mallikarjun Kharge powerless to stop it, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is extending all help to farmers.
