CryptoThousands of farmers across BJP-ruled Karnataka joined the countrywide protest against the new farm laws on September 28. Their other complaint was against changes to the land acquisition act, which makes it easier for non-farmers to buy agricultural land, and amendments to the APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committees) Act, which lists rules for procuring farm produce. Protests were held in several cities, including state capital Bengaluru. By noon, hundreds of farmers were seen holding demonstrations outside the Town Hall. Others blocked roads in parts of the city till they were told to move by the police. On September 26, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar had firmly opposed the proposed amendments and hit out at the ruling BJP, saying they want to keep the farmers as "slaves". The BJP has blamed the unrest on the Congress. Meanwhile, a Congress MP from Kerala moved the Supreme Court on September 28 challenging the constitutional validity of various provisions of the contentious new farm Act.
