The district unit of the BJP staged a protest in Shivamogga on Saturday, condemning the recent incident of atrocity against a Dalit woman in Belagavi.
Former Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, Shivamogga MLA S.N. Channabasappa, BJP district president T.D. Megharaj, women wing president Sunitha Annappa, and others led the protest at Shivappa Nayaka Circle.
Mr. Eshwarappa, addressing the protesters, said the woman was subjected to torture. The incident was a blot on humanity. “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should have visited the village and consoled the victim. The police have not taken strict action in the case,” he said.
