Mangalore: On Saturday morning at Kuloor Junction, the Surarhkal Block Congressmen organised a ‘Rasta Rokho’ agitation against the ruling BJP govt. seeking its removal.
Vijaykumar Shetty was the chief speaker during demonstration in public that inconvenienced highway traffic.
He said that 16 MLAs including 11 from BJP suspended by the speaker went to Supreme Court and were reinstated. The SCI has passed strictures against CM and the speaker in the case. The state Governor sent a letter to President recommending the removal of BJP Govt. and to rule president’s rule.
The CM has taken back 11 BJP MLAs into his fold by horse-trading to increase his majority, which is nothing but tainted politics, the former MLA stated.
He further said that CM’s cabinet has several tainted ministers and his party several such MLAs. Only in his party so many tainted persons hold one office or the other, so all of them should quit soon, he urged.
The agitation had to be finally dispersed by police as the Congressmen obstructed the highway traffic.
Moideen bawa, Rohitaksha Rai, Keshav Sanil, Basheer Ahmed , Shashidhara Hegde, Husain Katipall, Gulzar Banu, Nagaveni, corporator Bharathi Hakim Kuloor among others participated in the show.
