Workers and farmers across the Kalaburagi district participated in a nationwide general strike on Thursday, protesting against labor codes and government policies. The Joint Committee of Trade Unions and farmers’ organisations, including CITU, AITUC, AIUTUC, INTUC, NTUI, NCL, and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), demanded the immediate repeal of the four labor codes, withdrawal of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the Seed Bill 2025, and a statutory guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP). Protesters also criticized India–U.S. trade deals and urged the Centre to withdraw the VB-G RAM G scheme and strengthen MGNREGA and the MSP guarantee. The protesters warned that their agitation would intensify if their demands are not met.
