BENGALURU: The Congress began day-and-night protests in both houses of the legislature on Thursday demanding the resignation of rural development and panchayat raj minister KS Eshwarappa for his statement on the saffron flag. The minister has courted controversy by stating: “In future, the saffron flag could replace the national flag at Red Fort.”
The opposition members decided to intensify their agitation by sitting on a day-and-night dharna after their demand was turned down by speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri on Thursday.
