Bengaluru, Jul 26: The state Congress will launch a 'save democracy, save Constitution' protest against the ruling BJP government in front of Raj Bhavan here on Monday, July 27.
Reports stated that Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi has given instructions to the state Congress to hold the protest against BJP. The state Congress leaders have decided to launch the protest at 1.30 pm on Monday.
Sources in Congress said that the party has planned the protest condemning the 'attack on the democracy and constitution of the country' by the union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Recently, BJP national leaders were successful in bringing down the Congress government led by Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh. Now, the Congress government in Rajasthan led by CM Ashok Gehlot, ridden with internal squabbles, is also on the brink of collapse. It is said that these are the reasons for the Congress protest against the BJP.
Sonia Gandhi has asked the leaders of her party to hold nationwide protests in front of Raj Bhavans of respective states, condemning these alleged 'tactics' of the BJP government.
In Karnataka, the protest will be held in front of Raj Bhavan under the leadership of opposition leader and former CM Siddaramaiah and new KPCC president D K Shivakumar.
