BJP To Stage Demo Against ‘Anti-People Policies’ Of Karnataka’s Cong Govt Today
Senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa said his party would hold state-wide protests in Karnataka against the ‘anti-people’ policies of the ruling Congress on Friday. The agitations will take place in Bengaluru and all the taluk headquarters, Yediyurappa told reporters.
“Tomorrow, our MLAs, MPs and more than 15,000 to 20,000 people will take part in the demonstration. The administration has collapsed as anti-people policies are being adopted by this government. Drought is affecting people, there are power cuts and development works have stopped. So, we are staging demonstrations and rallies across the state including Bengaluru and Taluk headquarters,” the former CM said.
The BJP has given enough time to the Congress government, which has ignored all the development works and indulged in ‘transfer business,’ which compelled his party to hit the streets and stage protests, he said.
