Sharing the article of the news portals on ‘X’, the Bengaluru South MP on November 7 alleged that a farmer in Haveri district died by suicide after finding his land had been taken over by the Board.
“In their haste to appease minorities, CM@Siddaramaiah @BZ ZameerAhmed K have unleashed catastrophic effects in Karnataka that are becoming impossible to contain with every passing day,” Surya alleged.
The post was deleted by the MP later after Haveri district Superintendent of Police termed the news article as fake.
