The BJP on Wednesday said it will launch a state-wide agitation from August 18 demanding the resignation of Energy Minister D K Shivakumar and Textiles Minister Ramesh Jharkiholi in the wake of recent I-T raids on them.
BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa said that about 25,000 party workers will take out a protest march from Freedom Park to the Vidhana Soudha on August 18. The party will lay a siege to the Vidhana Soudha. Protests will be held at all Assembly constituencies and will continue till both the ministers resign, he told reporters.
