Malpe: Flex of Karnataka CM, deputy gashed near Padukere bridge
Congress activists demand action; no complaint filed
Malpe: A flex put up by Congress activists and supporters congratulating Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar near the Malpe Padukere bridge was damaged by miscreants.
The flex is suspected to have been damaged at night on Monday by miscreants who are now absconding. No complaint has been filed in the matter so far.
“The Congress has been implementing development schemes like starting a school in Padukere, providing tap water, roads and electricity, putting up barricades against the sea, development of the Malpe port, bridges and opening of a ration centre,” the party activists said.
“Society should be cleared of the fear-based mentality, which is reflected in tearing down flexes, bashing people up and denying people their freedom of expression. Such mentality is also a representative of autocracy,” they stressed and urged the concerned authorities to take action in the matter immediately.
