BJP Workers Protest Against Shobha Karandlaje's Candidacy in Bengaluru North
Bengaluru: The announcement of MP Shobha Karandlaje as the BJP's candidate for the Bengaluru North Lok Sabha seat has sparked discontent among local BJP workers, leading to protests and slogans of "Go back Shobhakka".
BJP activists expressed their displeasure after Karandlaje's candidacy was confirmed by the BJP.
A video circulating on social media shows locals holding placards and chanting slogans against Shobha Karandlaje, urging the party not to give her a ticket for Bengaluru North. Protesters voiced their belief that only local leaders could effectively address their issues, emphasising the need to prioritise local Vokkaliga leaders for the ticket.
The demonstrators carried placards with messages such as "Shobha Hathao-Bangalore North BJP Bachao" (Remove Shobha, Save Bangalore North BJP).
This protest follows a similar campaign by CT Ravi's supporters, who launched a 'Go Back Shobha' letter campaign against Karandlaje when she sought a ticket from Udupi Chikmagalur a few days ago.
