Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (DSS) members staged a protest in Jamkhandi on Tuesday against BJP leader and MLA Jagadish Gudagunti for saying reservation has to be done away with to ensure prosperity of the nation.
They said that Mr. Gudagunti had, in a public meeting in Siddapura village, given a call to backward communities to shun reservation and strive to come up in life on merit alone.
Demanding that the MLA seek a public apology, they gathered in front of his house and shouted slogans. However, the police dispersed them later.
