High drama prevailed as police personnel detained BJP leaders and party workers.
A heated argument broke out between protesters and police. The BJP leaders and party workers, who were to start the 'Mysuru Chalo' march, blocked the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway near Kanminake, following which they were detained.
Meanwhile, BJP workers staged a protest in Mysuru city in the absence of state party leaders.
BJP state president and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra criticized the police action and said the government's sins were "overflowing and could fall at any time".
Talking to media representatives as he prepared to leave for Mysuru, he said that the Siddaramiah government would be responsible for inciting riots across the state through these arrests.
Vijayendra said that the ED arrested former minister Nagendra, the case should now be handed over to the CBI and the Chief Minister should resign.
He condemned the crackdown on the protest as an "unforgivable crime." He criticized the authorities for arresting their leaders, pulling down their banners and flags near NICE Road in Bengaluru and destroying food brought for the activists.
Vijayendra accused CM Siddaramaiah's government of oppression and trying to establish a Tughlaq-like regime. He asserted that the BJP and its workers would not be intimidated by this action.
"The Congress government looted the funds reserved for Dalit development through the Valmiki Corporation and used them for elections. They have turned the state into a Congress ATM, sending money from Karnataka to Rahul Gandhi," he alleged. .
He also accused the Chief Minister of distributing plots to his family through the MUDA scam. He claimed that this Rs 5,000 crore scam involved allotment of plots to Congress members.
