Periyapatna: Even as a Congress-JD(S) coalition government is ruling Karnataka, the followers of former Congress MLA K. Venkatesh staged a demonstration against the move of the newly-elected JD(S) MLA K. Mahadev to lay the foundation stone for Rs.4.75 crore road works in Belathur village here.
The agitators gheraoed the car of PWD Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) S. Prakash and took him to task for allowing MLA Mahadev to once again perform guddali puja (foundation stone) for which the previous MLA had done in the past.
