BJP Chief BY Vijayendra Expresses Concern Over Surge In Attacks On Party Workers

Bengaluru

State BJP President BY Vijayendra on Monday raised a concern on the attacks on party workers who question the Congress government in the state, and accused the government of encouraging elements behind the attacks.

Taking to social media, Vijayendra stated   that the number of attacks targeting the BJP workers, who raise their voice against the ruling leaders, are rising day after day in the state.

Following the incidents of Kalaburagi and Belagavi, the attack on our BJP leader Gokul Krishnan by goondas is worrisome, Vijayendra stated.

It is said that the reason behind the attack is Gokul Krishnan daring to raise a question on the illegalities taking place in Bhadravathi town in Shivamogga district, he said.

The Congress government is targeting the BJP workers intentionally and encouraging those who are attacking them. "I urge you to consider the Bhadravathi case seriously and protect our party leader. I also demand to arrest the culprits and initiate legal action," he stated.

An incident of a BJP worker getting attacked by a gang of six persons for questioning Congress MLA BK Sangameshwar  i on Facebook was reported on Monday.

Gokul Krishnan stated that he was attacked in the backdrop of questioning   MLA Sangameshwar. The victim had questioned the  MLA about illegal activities in Bhadravathi town and his promise to restart the MPML factory. Following the post, the victim's car was targeted and damagedy.

The case is likely to become a major issue and be discussed in the session. Recently, BJP worker Prithwi Singh was stabbed in Belagavi, and an FIR was booked against Congress MLC Channaraj Hattiholi, his four associates, and his two gunmen. Prithwi Singh was a close associate of former Minister and BJP MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi.
