The Opposition BJP launched the Janakrosha Yatre in protest against the Congress government in the State against the rise in prices of essential commodities from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s hometown of Mysuru.
The State-wide yatre, which was flagged off with a march from the Central Post Office Circle in Mysuru on Monday, is expected to cover various parts of the State in four phases till May 3.
The BJP is seeking to target the Congress government over not only price rise, but also alleged appeasement of Muslims and diversion of funds meant for development of Dalits.
A host of BJP leaders including Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Pralhad Joshi, party State President B.Y. Vijayendra and Leaders of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly and Council R. Ashok and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy respectively were present at the flagging off.
The protesters marched through Ashoka Road before reaching Gandhi Square near the Town Hall, where the leaders addressed a gathering of supporters.
The BJP leaders in attendance at the launch of the yatre included former Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, MP Govind Karjol, former Deputy Chief Minister Ashwath Narayan, Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, and C.T. Ravi, among others.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Vijayendra said the agitation had become inevitable for the BJP as a responsible Opposition party in view of the difficulties the people of the State were facing on account of the rise in prices of essential commodities.
