Konaraddi alleges farmers are not being paid insurance
Alleging that the private insurance company from which farmers bought the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana had cheated them by not paying the requisite crop insurance, former MLA N.H. Konaraddi of the Janata Dal (Secular) and others have filed a police complaint.
Mr. Konaraddi, accompanied by other members of JD(S) and a few farmers, filed the complaint at Gokul Road Police Station in Hubballi on Saturday.
Speaking to presspersons afterwards, Mr. Konaraddi said that under the Central insurance scheme earlier Bharti Axa Life Insurance had bagged the contract, and subsequently ICICI Lombard General Insurance had bagged the contract.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
