Karnataka CM promises no farmer evictions amid Waqf Board land ownership concerns

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has assured that no farmer in Karnataka will face eviction from their land, addressing concerns over recent Waqf Board land ownership notices. He stated that any notices sent to farmers in Vijayapura, Yadgir, and Dharwad districts claiming their lands belong to the Waqf Board would be revoked.

Siddaramaiah made these remarks in response to the farmers’ fears about land ownership. According to the Chief Minister, the government is taking steps to prevent any



wrongful eviction and reaffirmed the state’s commitment to safeguarding farmers’ interests. He added that Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, Vijayapura District In-charge Minister MB Patil, and Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan clarified this stance in a recent press conference.

This reassurance aligns with Siddaramaiah's long-standing promise to protect Karnataka’s agricultural community, particularly amidst concerns about land security, and reiterates his administration’s support for farmers.
