Mysuru: Maintaining that today's Bharat Bandh called by the Congress to protest rising fuel prices is purely a State-sponsored bandh, with the JD(S)-Congress coalition government openly supporting the bandh, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha wondered why the State government did not show the same enthusiasm when Kannada organisations gave a bandh call on burning issues concerning Kannada land, language and water.
Addressing a press meet at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here this morning, Pratap Simha accused the State Government of enforcing this unnecessary bandh upon the people and declaring holidays for educational institutions through Deputy Commissioners.
