Farmers from 26 villages in Bidadi have petitioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the proposed township project, alleging forced acquisition of their ancestral agricultural lands. S Ravikumar, president of Bidadi Geleyara Balaga, stated that affected families have been peacefully protesting for over 570 days. They claim the state government is misleading the public about consent, with most active farmers opposing the project while only a few absentee owners agreed.
