Responding to the BJP protest against the Congress government in the State, the district units of the party took out protest rallies and demonstrations in the district headquarters of Kalyana Karnataka on Saturday.
In Kalaburagi, the party workers, led by Rajkumar Patil Telkur, Basavaraj Mattimadu, Shivaraj Patil Raddewadagi, Manikanth Rathod and other leaders, took out a procession from SVP Chowk to the district administrative complex raising slogans against the State government.
“After Congress assumed power in the State, the prices of essential commodities, such as electricity and milk, have phenomenally risen. The price rise has hit the consumers hard… The State government is also rude in treating the elected representatives. The speaker has suspended 10 BJP MLAs from the Assembly and this is not the way to treat elected representatives,” Mr Telkur, the spokesperson of BJP State unit, said during the protest.
