Contractor’s death: Protests against Eshwarappa in Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru

Workers of the Youth Congress staged a protest in Shivamogga demanding the arrest of Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa in connection with the alleged suicide of contractor Santosh Patil.

The police took the protesters into custody as they headed to Mr. Eshwarappa’s residence. The workers, led by Youth Congress district president H.P. Girish, demanded the arrest of the Minister alleging that he was responsible for the suicide of Santosh Patil.

A similar protest was held in Chikkamagaluru by members of the Congress, JD(S), Communist Party of India and some progressive organisations.
