“The police and the district administration have completely failed to protect common people and the Congress leaders are supporting rowdy elements in the district”Dattatreya Patil Revoor,Former MLA
The agitators gathered at Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Chowk and blocked the road for some time raising slogans against the police, the district administration and the district in-charge Minister and burnt the posters of all the seven accused in the case.
Raising concern over the increasing incidents of targeted violence against particular communities, the members of the Madival Sangha and the former legislator Dattatreya Patil Revoor said that there is no semblance of law and order in Kalaburagi district.
The police and the district administration have completely failed to protect common people. The Congress leaders are supporting the rowdy elements in the district, Mr. Revoor said.
As soon as the agitators gathered at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Chowk, some police personnel trailed behind the protestors and tried to foil the agitation.
