Bangalore: A huge protest was staged at Freedom Park here on Saturday by supporters of Kundapur MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty as well as Karunaker Reddy, condemning the failure of the state government to give a cabinet berth to Shetty.
Sampath Kumar, BJP leader who addressed the agitators said though Halady had won thrice from his constituency, he had never lobbied for a cabinet berth. However he who was summoned to Bangalore with the promise of a cabinet berth was left in the lurch in the last minute, he alleged. They even tore a poster of RSS leader Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat.
The supporters of the MLA are also planning to resign on Monday as a mark of protest.
