Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa on Friday said that POSCO plant would not come to Gadag district without farmers’ consent. Speaking in Hubli where he arrived for a two-day state BJP executive meet, Yeddyurappa reiterated that only if the seers and farmers arrived at a “consensus” on setting up of the project, he would consider the project’s implementation in the district.

“The Rs30,000-crore steel project by Korean major POSCO will not come up in Gadag district without farmers’ consent. I do not wish to go against the wishes of the farmers and the swamiji as I am a pro-farmer man. As such there was no proposal to acquire fertile farmlands for the purpose,” the chief minister said.

Yeddyurappa has directed Gadag deputy commissioner Shankar Narayan to submit a letter in this regard to Tontadarya Mutt seer Siddalinga Swamiji, who is spearheading the farmers’ agitation in the district against the POSCO project.

Yeddyurappa had on Thursday said that his government would announce in two days its decision on a fresh location of the project.
