Bengaluru, September 20: Close on the heels of Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy’s statement that people would revolt against BJP if the latter tried to destabilize the coalition government in the state, hundreds of Congress workers laid siege the house of BJP state President B.S Yeddyurappa in the city on Thursday and expressed their ire.

In a sudden development, the Congress workers laid siege the house at Dollars Colony in the city and shouted slogans against Yeddyurappa, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra and the central government.

Verbal duals

Meanwhile,  B.S Yeddyurappa was holding a meeting with the MLAs at his residence. At this time, the Congress and BJP workers engaged in verbal duals and reached a stage of scuffle each other. BJP MLAs MP Renukacharya, Vishwanath, Madalu Virupakshappa, Doddappa Gowda Patil, Harish Poonja, Ravikumar and Ayanur Manjunath made futile attempt to pacify the Congress workers.

Later, both the Congress and BJP workers exchanged heated arguments and shouted slogans against each others. The Congress workers tried to barge into the house of Yeddyurappa. As Renukacharya pushed the Congress workers, tension prevailed for some time.

The police who rushed to the spot dispersed the Congress and BJP workers and put barricades on the road leading to Yeddyurappa’s house and police security was beefed up.

“Corrupt Yeddyurappa who had been to the jail was the leader of Operation Lotus. Yeddyurappa’s unethical politics should be rejected. The Central government has been using the IT and ED to hound Congress leaders and they will not succeed”.

“In the name of protest, Congress workers have behaved like goondas and Chief Minister Kumaraswamy is encouraging them. We have also grown up. We know how to give them the answer”.
