Protest against BJP leader in Belgavi
Belgavi: Supporters of BJP leader Kiran Jadhav staged a protest in Belagavi against the party against the perceived injustice done to their leader on Thursday.
They alleged that the party had announced the Belagavi north ticket to Anil Benake and not Mr. Jadhav, who had represented the party in 2013. This, they alleged, was a conspiracy by Suresh Angadi, MP, who wanted to curb the popularity of Mr. Jadhav.
They burnt an effigy of Mr. Angadi and shouted slogans against him. BJP is yet to officially announce the names of candidates for Belagavi north and south seats.
