Activists under the banner of Committee to Protect Constitution questioned the stance of JD(S) MLA G.T. Deve Gowda on the issue of social justice after he opposed introduction of reservation in the cooperative sector.
The activists staged a demonstration in the city on Wednesday and raised slogans against Mr. Gowda dubbing him anti-dalit. The activists said the remarks of Mr. Deve Gowda are a reflection of the mindset of the BJP with which the JD(S) has aligned. Referring to Mr. GTD’s clarification in a section of the press that he was misquoted, the activists questioned him as to how many Dalits he had appointed when he was a minister in the H.D. Kumaraswamy cabinet.
The activists, including a few Congress leaders from Mysuru, assembled in front of the MLA’s office in Mysuru and flayed his views on the issue.
