Shivamogga district unit of the BJP has decided to stage a protest in Shivamogga on Sunday, condemning the murder of a female student in Hubballi. The party’s senior leaders and workers will assemble at Gopi Circle to demand strict punishment for the accused in the crime.
Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra and Shivamogga MLA S.N. Channabasappa, in a joint press conference in Shivamogga on Saturday, condemned the incident and alleged that ‘appeasement politics’ of the Congress led to an increase in crimes in the State.
Mr. Channabasappa gave the statistics of crimes reported in the State in recent months and alleged that the Chief Minister and Home Minister have failed to maintain law and order. He also alleged that there had been no security for the Hindus under Congress rule.
