Urging the State government to accept the H. Kantharaj Commission report on caste-based reservation, members of the Karnataka Hindulida Jaatigala Okkuta and the Alemari Are Alemari Samudayagala Maha Okkuta will stage a satyagraha here on November 21.
Okkuta district president Mahantesh Kaulagi and prominent leaders from other backward classes, addressing a press conference here on Thursday, said that they will take out a rally from Jagat Circle to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Chowk and organise a one-day satyagraha outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office demanding that the Siddaramaiah-led government accept the H. Kantharaj Commission socio-economic survey.
In his first term, Mr. Siddaramaiah had assigned the Karnataka Backward Classes Commission, then headed by senior counsel H. Kantharaj, with the task of carrying out the Socio-Economic and Education Survey in 2015. And, also, the current chairperson of the commission, Jayaprakash Hedge, has said that the report is ready.
