Condemning what they said were objectionable remarks by Backward Classes Welfare Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi against the followers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP Yuva Morcha activists staged a demonstration at Karatagi, Mr. Tangadagi’s constituency, in Koppal district on Tuesday.
Led by BJP Yuva Morcha’s State vice-president Amaresh, district president Mounesh Dhadesugur and mandal president Manjunath Maski, the activists also made an attempt to lay a siege to the Minister’s residence demanding that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah drop Mr. Tangadagi from his Council of Ministers.
The agitating activists said that Mr. Tangadagi had, a day before, called upon people to slap on the faces of those who chanted pro-Modi slogan as Mr. Modi has, according to him, failed to fulfill his promise of generating two crore jobs a year.
