PTI, Aug 2, 2024, 4:47 PM IST
The ruling Congress in Karnataka on Friday staged a demonstration in Bidadi in Ramanagara district against the alleged injustice done to the state by the Centre including tax divulsion and attempts to destabilse the government.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, who is also the Congress state president, kickstarted the six-day agitation starting from Friday. He rode a pillion as the party leaders took out a motorcycle rally in the town adjacent to Bengaluru.
The agitation, which the Congress state unit has called ‘Janandolana’ (people’s movement) is also against corruption during the BJP and JD(S) rule in Karnataka.
Shivakumar, who is also state Congress president, said the BJP leaders must answer their questions about misuse of Central agencies, irregularities committed during their governments and other issues. He said they will not stop the BJP-JDS padayatra, but it will not be allowed inside Bengaluru City as it will cause inconvenience to people.
