BJP MPs in the state are unfit to continue in their positions: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru: As we promised yesterday, the KPCC is giving a cheque of Rs 1 crore to KSRTC to facilitate free transportation to passengers. They are, however, not ready to accept the cheque. Anyhow we will send the cheque, KPCC president DK Shivakumar said.
He was speaking to reporters at the city's Majestic Bus Stand after meeting the thousands of migrant workers who are stranded and struggling to get to their hometowns.
"The state government decided to provide free transportation for three days only after Congress awaken them. This should be extended for at least six days," he demanded.
Workers and laborers are building this nation. You stay with your family for a week, then come back and begin your works. We will protect you no matter however big the problem is. We will take care of you even if we have to give our lives, Shivakumar said.
Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah, KPCC Secretary Saleem Ahmad, MLA Dinesh Gundurao, and others were present.
