If there is a forensic misappropriation, if there is a voice modulation which has been edited through AI, all these facts need to come in the public domain. And we have nothing to fear.

All my ministerial colleagues and farmer leaders have been engaged in lengthy discussions since 11 a.m. this morning, and the discussions continued until 12:30 a.m. tonight. Farm leaders from every corner of the state, from all districts had come. Along with them about 70 MLAs, MPs, about 9 Ministers and all officers from Finance department and others have come and held detailed discussions...Whatever rate is fixed, whatever is to be given after that fixation, our factories have agreed to it...For the government, farmers are more important than anyone, they must survive - that is the decision. So we all sat and discussed for two days. They have asked for two more days, they have come close to an agreement. Today we have come to a happy ending. In two more days they themselves will discuss and come to a decision...We have come very close to resolving this as soon as possible. In two more days, the factories and farmers will sit together and take a decision - whether in Belagavi or in Bengaluru, at their convenience. From our side, whatever encouragement has to be given to farmers, we will stand in support of them. I am committed to go and talk to the Central Government at any time if needed
