Bengaluru: The state BJP core committee on Friday decided to take the agitation of the party against the Siddaramaiah government to the Assembly-constituency level.
BJP State general secretary Aravind Limbavali said the party will organise a “Mangaluru chalo” protest soon demanding the resignation of Forest Minister Ramanath Rai. He charged Rai with supporting Popular Front of India (PFI) and Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD). Limbavali accused the two organisations of involvement in the killing of RSS and BJP functionaries.
Limbavali said the BJP will pressure the government to announce relief measures to farmers reeling under severe drought. According to sources, the core committee meeting also decided to assign senior lead. It was decided that senior leaders will undertake a six-day tour of the state from August 20 and later decide on changing district presidents and office bearers wherever the organisational setup is weak.
