Farmer suicides due to drought are reported as routine, highlighting institutional failure.
On July 31, H. D. Kumaraswamy, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, criticized the Congress Government in Karnataka over drought management failures leading to farmer suicides, particularly highlighting a couple's death due to debt in Hatna Bevukallu village. He urged immediate action against mounting crop losses and bank notices to farmers with outstanding loans. Criticizing the government’s focus on Cabinet expansion rather than addressing the crisis, Kumaraswamy also addressed concerns over the Cauvery water issue, calling for a united resolution among political parties to safeguard Karnataka's interests.
