The angry BJP men then staged a flash protest by hitting the photos of union ministers Anantkumar, Anant Kumar Hegde, MP Pratap Simha and R Ashok with slippers. The protesters burnt saffron and BJP flags.
Ramdas gheraoed
The situation took a turn to the worse when former Minister S.A. Ramdas, who is contesting from Krishnaraja constituency, entered the scene which led to a fresh outburst. He was heckled by the workers and was whisked out of the hotel to the road.
