<h1>Opposition-led protest demands drought declaration, farm loan waivers, higher MSPs and probe into cooperative bank roll changes</h1> An opposition party organised a public protest in a regional city accusing the state government of neglecting farmers and demanding a formal wet-drought declaration, a comprehensive farm loan waiver and higher minimum support prices for certain crops. Protest leaders threatened escalated disruptive actions, including impeding ministers' movements, if demands are not met within a month. Allegations were also made of improper removal and addition of names from a district cooperative bank list, prompting calls for an inquiry. The actions raise potential administrative, electoral and public-order issues and seek executive remedies through political pressure and investigation.
