Congress workers staged a demonstration in the city on Friday condemning the Kodagu incident where former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was pelted with eggs.
Mr. Siddaramaiah had visited a few flood-affected areas in Kodagu and was greeted by BJP Yuva Morcha activists with black flags while eggs were also thrown at his vehicle on Thursday.
Party workers assembled at the Gandhi Square for a demonstration and raised slogans against the government. Earlier, KPCC working president R. Dhruvanarayan told media persons that the Kodagu incident underlined the failure of the Home Ministry and the BJP government. “’Black flag demonstrations have taken place at five places, during Mr. Siddaramaiah’s visit, and it underlines the failure of the police and the intelligence,’, said Mr. Dhruvanarayan.
