Mysuru: Congress workers led by MLA M.K. Somashekar staged a novel protest on Monday in front of the State Bank of India ATM near Ramaswamy Circle by distributing neem leaves to the people who had come to withdraw money. The ATM was sporting the board ‘No Cash’ and the protesters shouted slogans like ‘Kendra Sarakara Diwaliyagide, idakkagi ATMgalu baridagive’ (Central Government has become a pauper, hence ATMs are dry).
Somashekar, speaking on the occasion, said that after Narendra Modi’s Government came to power in the Centre, the finances of the country are in a very precarious position.
