TM Arvind, president of South India Pushpakrishi Sangh, said that such comments from a responsible leader are ‘unfair’ and “weakens the hard work of millions of farmers who are dependent on the cultivation of flowers for their livelihood.” According to Arvind, flowers are cultivated in 38,000 hectares in Karnataka, of which more than 1,500 hectares are cultivated in more than 1,500 hectares. He said, “This area directly and indirectly provides employment to 11 lakh people, while more than 52 lakh people are benefited from the cultivation of flowers on 2.8 lakh acres.”

Arvind underlined that BJP MP from Chikkaballapura K.K. Sudhakar recently said in Parliament that flowers are cultivated on 25,000 acres of land in Chikkaballapura area and had proposed to establish a Pushpakrishi Board to support the industry.
