Bengaluru: Challenging Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to stop the proposed Karnataka Bandh on Dec. 5, former MLA and Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj said it will be an unprecedented bundh and people will not get water or food on that day.
Addressing a rally organised by various pro-Kannada organisations against the constitution of Maratha Development Corporation at K.R. Puram here yesterday, he said over 1,400 associations have vowed to participate in Dec. 5 bandh. Their protest would continue even after Karnataka Bandh and observe ‘Jail Bharo,’ if necessary. “Yediyurappa is the only CM to destroy Kannada in Karnataka. The other name for Yediyurappa is liar. It was he who got the statue of Tamil Saint Tiruvallavar installed in Bengaluru. People should not believe him,” he added.
