Udupi, Oct 5 : Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) activists protested with black flags against Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Member of Parliament Shobha Karandlaje here on Thursday, October 5. Police detained them and took them to the police station to stop the protest.
KRV members shouted slogans against Shobha Karandlaje holding her responsible for the bad state of roads in Udupi and particularly in Manipal, which has received wide coverage in the media in the recent days.
Once the protest was stopped by the police, Shobha Karandlaje went to the venue where she was scheduled to participate in a programme on GST.
Shobha Karandlaje had made a statement on Wednesday that she had sought funds to the tune of Rs 100 crore from the Union government to repair the pathetic road in Manipal.
