The Karnataka BJP began a statewide protest on Saturday demanding the resignation of Minister for RDPR, IT and BT Priyank Kharge as his aide has been named as an abettor in the suicide note of a contractor, Sachin Panchal. In turn, the minister slammed the BJP saying it is the responsibility of the government to conduct a transparent investigation and provide justice to that family.
The BJP is also vehemently demanding the handing over of the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The BJP is all set to lay siege to the residence of Minister Priyank Kharge in his native Kalaburagi city. Leader of Opposition, R. Ashoka, is leading the party workers who plan to take a protest rally from Jagath Circle to the residence of Minister Kharge.
