Congress plans padayatra in Mysuru to protest Governor's actions against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, urging peace during demonstration.
Even as protests continued in different parts of Mysuru on Sunday, August 18, against Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s decision to sanction the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the alleged MUDA scam, the Congress is planning to take out a padayatra in the city on Monday, August 19.
The padayatra from Gandhi Square to the new Deputy Commissioner’s office on Monday is part of the party’s agitation for “Governor Hatao Karnataka Bachao”.
President of Mysuru City Congress Committee R. Murthy and president of Mysuru District Congress Committee B.J. Vijaykumar said the padayatra had been organised to denounce Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s “conspiracy” against Mr. Siddaramaiah who is the Chief Minister of the State government formed with a clear mandate by the people. The Congress leaders accused the Governor of acting at the behest of the BJP government at the Centre.
A meeting to discuss Monday’s protest against the Governor’s action held at the Congress office in Mysuru on Sunday resolved to issue directions to the participants to maintain peace during the padayatra.
The Congress leaders attending the meeting expressed themselves against burning tyres or allowing any trouble during the event as the State government is run by their own party.
The party leaders, however, planned to mobilise a large number of people for the protest demonstration on Monday.
The meeting was attended by Harish Gowda, Chamaraja MLA, KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshman, Karnataka Exhibition Authority Chairman Ayub Khan, besides Mr. Murthy and Mr. Vijaykumar.
