Jayasurya's speech on farmers
Jayasurya recently criticised the Kerala government's policies at Karshikolsavam, the agricultural festival. He spoke about the difficulties faced by farmers, citing the example of actor Krishna Prasad, who is on a hunger strike because he has not received his dues from Supplyco.
