The Congress party has announced a major protest initiative in Dakshina Kannada district. This action forms a key part of their MGNREGA Bachao Sangram campaign.
Protest Details and Political Participation
Congress leaders will undertake a hunger strike to highlight their demands. They will also organize a 100-kilometer padayatra across the district. This march aims to mobilize public support for protecting the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
High-Profile Involvement
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar are expected to participate directly. Both leaders will likely attend one of the public meetings scheduled during the protest. Their involvement signals the party's strong commitment to this issue at the highest levels.
The MGNREGA scheme provides crucial employment guarantees for rural workers. Congress argues that the program needs stronger protection and implementation. This protest in Dakshina Kannada represents a significant political move in Karnataka.
