Kalaburagi, May 24 (UNI) The BJP on Saturday staged a protest 'Kalaburagi Chalo', demanding the immediate dismissal of Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge from the state cabinet, following a recent flashpoint in Chittapur, involving alleged Congress-sponsored hooliganism.
The protest came in the wake of the May 21 incident, in which Congress workers allegedly laid siege to a guest house in Chittapur, Kalaburagi district, where Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanswamy, was staying.
The BJP has termed the incident a "premeditated attempt to intimidate opposition leaders."
