Mangaluru: Dalita Sangharsh Samiti to back Congress in LS poll
Mangaluru, Mar 23: The Karnataka Dalita Sangharsh Samiti (DSS) will support the Congress and other secular parties in the coming Lok Sabha elections, its state chief convenor Mavalli Shankar said Saturday.
Addressing reporters at the press club here, he alleged that the BJP-led NDA government had failed to fulfil the promises made during their election campaign in 2014.
The promise of job creation for the youth had fallen flat while the agrarian sector was in distress, he said.
The number of farmers committing suicide has gone up after Prime Minister Narenda Modis government came to power, Shankar alleged.
He said small businessmen had to suffer huge losses due to the demonetisation carried out by the government.
"The NDA government should be ousted to protect the Constitution, which is facing a threat under the regime," he said.
Democratic values were also being eroded, he said, adding there was an urgent need to protect the Constitution and democracy in the country.

ABVP leaders face legal action for protesting without permission in Udupi
Udupi: A legal case has been filed against ABVP members for staging a protest without permission on April 23rd. The protest was organised to condemn the tragic murder of Neha Hiremath, a student from Hubbali.
Despite being denied permission due to the Election Code of Conduct being in effect, around 300 ABVP members gathered unlawfully at Jodukatte in the city. From there, they proceeded towards Udupi Service Bus Stand, causing a disruption to public traffic.
The ABVP members further aggravated the situation by blocking Clock Tower Road near the Udupi Service Bus Stand, which is a restricted area for protests. This resulted in inconvenience for the public and disrupted vehicular movement.
Following a complaint lodged by Flying Squad Officer Kumar Naik, a case has been formally registered at the Udupi Town Police Station.
