Electricity fares in K’taka: BJP to lend moral support to June 22 bandh

BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Monday said that the party’s state unit would extend its support to the June 22 bandh call given by an industry body against the steep hike in power tariff.

The Hubballi-based Karnataka Chamber of Commerce & Industry has called for bandh on Thursday.

Kateel told reporters that the state government must stop playing with people and industrialists can see through what the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government is trying to send out a message to them.
