The Bharatiya Janata Party began its three-day padayatra from Ramanagaram district to Bengaluru demanding complete waiver of all farm loans on Thursday. MLAs M P Renukachrya, Kumar Bangarappa and leaders Tejaswini Gowda and M Rudresh led the padayatra.

They offered puja at Kengal Anjaneya temple at Channapatna and began the padayatra. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy has failed to keep up his promise of farm loan waiver. Hence, the BJP has organised the padayatra demanding a complete farmer loan waiver, Kumar Bangarappa said.
