BJP workers taken into preventive custody for protesting against CM
Mysuru: Even as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah arrived in the city this morning to appear before the Lokayukta Police in connection with the alleged illegal allotment of 14 alternative sites to his wife Parvathi, the City and District BJP units staged a massive demonstration in city this morning to seek the CM’s resignation.
However, the protest was short-lived as the Police took the protesting BJP workers into preventive custody. As the BJP workers strongly resisted the police action, the partymen were bundled into KSRP vans and other vehicles and taken to CAR grounds, from where they will be let off later in the day.
Ahead of CM’s arrival in the city, the BJP workers had gathered on Jayalakshmivilas road that connects Ramaswamy Circle, to stage the demonstration seeking the resignation of the CM. But the Police who were present at the spot, took them into preventive custody soon as they raised slogans against the CM in protest, by bundling the BJP workers into KSRP vans.
Lashing out at the Police action, the BJP workers accused the Police of behaving like Congress agents.
