Supporters of Reddy, Baig, Raghu Murthy stage protest in front KPCC office
Bengaluru, June 7: Congress workers staged a protest in front of the Congress office here on Thursday demanding ministerial berths to their leaders in the JDS-Congress coalition government cabinet.
Supporters of MLAs Ramalinga Reddy, Roshan Baig and Raghumurthy gathered in front of the KPCC office on the Queen’s Road in the city and shouted slogans.
Followers of the Reddy alleged that though their leader was elected as MLA for seven times and worked as a minister, he was not given the minister post and thus insulted the party workers.
Even Roshan Baig supporters also assembled in front of the KPCC office and said that majority of the Muslim community has voted for the Congress. But the senior leader from the community was neglected.
Hundreds of supporters of Raghupathi who came from Challakere staged a protest and demanded senior leaders to come to the spot.
Meanwhile, supporters of Bhadravati MLA BK Sangameshwar also staged a protest in front of the house of former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Kumara Krupa road demanding minister post. The followers who came from Bhadravati urged the party high command to induct their leader into the cabinet. Otherwise, they would intensify their protest, they said.
They demanded the presence of AICC president Rahul Gandhi, party leader Siddaramaiah, Karnataka incharge KC Venugopal immediately.
Traffic movement hampered
As the Congress workers resorted to lightning protests, the traffic movement on Queen’s road, Raj Bhavan road and surrounding areas was hampered for some time and vehicle users had to face the inconvenience.

Devendra Fadnavis plays video of Islamic scholar at Pune rally, harps on 'vote jihad'
Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.
It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.
"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.
"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
