Former Chief Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday dared Sangh Parivar outfits like Vishwa Hindu Parishat (VHP) and Bajrang Dal to take to the streets against the continuing price rise.
Participating in a programme titled ‘Sarva Janangada Shantiya Thota (A garden where all communities live in peace)‘ organised by Loknayak J.P. Vichara Vedike in Mysuru, Mr. Kumaraswamy said the JD(S) was ready to join hands with the Sangh Parivar outfits if it took to the streets against the continuing price rise.
He said price of petrol had reached ₹111 in Bengaluru, while the prices of diesel and LPG too had risen considerably, making it difficult for the common man. The ruling BJP has already drawn criticism from its political opponents for provoking communal unrest in the State through the party’s frontal organisations to divert attention from the price rise ahead of the Assembly elections next year.
