Raj Bhavan Chalo protest organised by Cong

The city police stopped the Raj Bhavan Chalo protest organised by the Congress on Friday morning.

The march was organised to protest against Governor Vajubhai Vala's decision of inviting the BJP to form the government, despite lacking a majority.

The protesters started from the Congress headquarters on Queen's Road, but the police did not allow them to reach the Raj Bhavan. They put up barricades near Balekundri Circle, following which the leaders went back to the KPCC office by car.

Senior Congress leaders like Mallikarjun Kharge, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Ashok Gehlot, K H Muniyappa and Ramalinga Reddy along with party workers led the march. Midway, they were joined by former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
