The residents of Alaganchi village in Varuna Assembly constituency in Mysuru district, whose lands were acquired by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB), have threatened to boycott the Lok Sabha elections to press their demand for employment in the sugar factory set up on the land acquired from them.
Residents of the village, who have been staging their protest outside the Bannari Amman sugar factory for more than two months demanding jobs, targeted their ire at former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah when he was campaigning in the area for Sunil Bose , the Congress candidate for Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency, on April 7.
After touring parts of Mallpura gram panchayat in Varuna Assembly constituency, Mr. Yathindra went to speak to the protesters in Alaganchi village.
