The Karnataka BJP will hold a statewide ‘rasta roko’ protest on September 24, targeting the Congress government for the poor condition of roads across the state. The announcement was made on Sunday, September 21.

BJP state president BY Vijayendra said party workers would block roads in all 224 Assembly constituencies for one hour starting from 11 am to highlight what he described as the Siddaramaiah government’s failure to address the pothole menace. “We have given a protest call to party workers on September 24 against roads filled with potholes in all the 224 Assembly constituencies of the state. The problem is there across the state, whether it is Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Vijayapura, or Kalaburgi. People are upset with the state of roads,” Vijayendra told reporters.
