Bangalore : Congress Leaders, Farmers taken into Custody

Bangalore, Dec 30 (PTI): About 500 farmers from North Karnataka districts and senior Congress leaders were today taken into custody after they tried to enter the state secretariat protesting "non-implementation" of flood relief measures announced by the BJP government.










The farmers who gathered at Freedom Park to air their grievances relating to non-payment of compensation, bouncing of cheques and non-receipt of flood material, staged a protest march to the Vidhan Soudha (state secretariat), led by the Congress leaders.

Congress leaders, including opposition leader in the state assembly Siddaramaiah, KPCC President R V Deshpande and Congress Working President D K Shivkumar, H K Patil were among those who were taken into custody.

The farmers shouting anti-government slogans tried to rush into the premises but were stopped by police who threw a security cordon round it.

    This is very wrong by the BJP Government, it's shown that, failure of BJP Govt in Karnataka, and I am sure this is the END of BJP Raj in Karnatka. Get up the People of Karnataka, Govt is in your hand, and you have to any other Govt, except BJP Gunda Raj. Jai Hind and Jai Karnatka

    Hi Ashu,Kundapura/UAE, this is the beginning of BJP era. You guys are not able to digest the development work done by BJP. Yesterday's protest by congress is not up to the mark of PANCHAYATH level. Congress leaders have no work to do but full time for igniting revenge in the meind of people.JAI HO BJP.
