JD(S) warns of protest over rising drug menace in Karnataka
Bengaluru: The Janata Dal (Secular) on Monday warned of launching a state-wide protest against the Karnataka government, accusing it of failing to curb the growing drug menace in the state.
According to a report published by Deccan Herald, reacting to a recent case in which the Maharashtra Anti-Narcotics Task Force busted drug manufacturing units in Bengaluru the regional party accused the state government of failing to prevent the drug menace in the state.
In a statement, JD(S) youth leader Nikhil Kumaraswamy reportedly said, “The state government has completely failed to prevent the drug menace in the state. Hence, the police from another state had to come.”
Nikhil also criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, taking a swipe at what he described as the government’s misplaced priorities.
Is the state’s Home Department reserved only for dinner and breakfast meetings? If the government further fails to initiate action against the drug mafia, we will have to launch a massive protest, he warned.
