BJP’s Karnataka bandh gets poor response
Bengaluru, May 28: The Karnataka bandh called by the BJP demanding waiver of farmers loans on Monday, received poor response across the state.
Though the BJP has called for voluntary bandh in all districts except Bengaluru, general public, business establishments, auto and taxi drivers and transport companies have not supported the bandh. It was a complete failure. As the MLAs and MPs tried to close the shops and business establishments in Bidar, Kalburgi, Bellary, Chitradurga, Koppal, Mysuru and other districts, the police took them into custody. MPs Pratap Simha, Bhagwanth Khuba, Karadi Sanganna and others were taken into custody, against this, the BJP workers shouted slogans and staged protests.
Indira canteen stoned
Miscreants stoned Indira canteen near the Union Park in Chitradurga city on Monday. As a result, the window panes were damaged. Police have arrested three BJP workers following the incident.
Threat to hotel
In Yadagiri, BJP MLA Venkata Siva Reddy went to a hotel and threatened the hotel owner to close it. When the public opposed it, the MLA has reportedly said that everybody should follow what he said as he is the MLA of the constituency.
DySP assaulted?
As the DySP has taken an auto which was using the loud speakers without permission, into his custody, MP Karadi Sanganna has attacked the officer and obstructed him from discharging his duty. The BJP workers who rushed to the police station engaged in verbal duals with the police personnel, due to which tension prevailed for some time.
Schools and colleges, government offices, banks, factories and other establishments have remained open as usual. There was no problem in transportation facility. As a result, the people did not feel the heat of BJP-sponsored bandh in the state.
Week deadline for loan waiver
Meanwhile, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa said that the Karnataka bandh called by the party demanding farmers loan waiver was successful. The government has tried to suppress the BJP leaders who have been protesting for farmers loans waiver, through police. The government should take a decision within a week on waiver off loans, he said.
