Members of the BJP Raitha Morcha and other organisations of the party took out a protest rally in Belagavi on Friday, demanding the withdrawal of the Government Order asking farmers to pay a part of the power supply connection for irrigation pumpsets.
There was some tension when the police stopped them from entering the Deputy commissioner’s office premises.
The police said that the protestors should staged their protest in a designated place, while the latter argued against it and insisted on entering the Deputy Commissioner’s office premises. The protestors sat for some time outside the perimeter and then, dispersed.
