JD(S) to protest against Karnataka govt over price hike, 'corruption'
Bengaluru, Apr 9 (PTI): The JD(S) will hold a massive protest on April 12 against the Congress government in Karnataka over price hike and alleged corruption.
The protest led by Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy will be held at Freedom Park here under its campaign "Sakappa Saaku Congress Sarkara" (Enough is Enough Congress Government).
JD(S) Youth President Nikhil Kumaraswamy, launched a new website (www.saakappasaaku.com) highlighting the "misdeeds" of the Congress government.
In a statement, Nikhil said not only JD(S) workers, but anyone from the state could register on the website and participate in the protests.
He alleged that the Congress dispensation has continuously increased prices of essential commodities for the past two years.
"Gradually, every sector has seen price hikes, pushing the people of the state into distress. There is growing debate across the state about the government's actions," he stated.
Saakappa Saaku, Congress Government!
