BJP to extend cooperation in ensuring Bengaluru bandh is successful tomorrow: Yediyurappa
BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Monday said his party would extend cooperation in ensuring that the Bengaluru bandh called by various organisations protesting against the release of Cauvery water is successful. He accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D K Shivakumar of behaving like agents of Tamil Nadu for complying with orders of the Cauvery Water Management Authority and the Cauvery Water Water Regulation Committee, which the Supreme Court refused to interfere with.
The former chief minister said BJP's new alliance partner JD(S) too will support the bandh and take part in the protest organised by the party on September 27.
'Karnataka Jala Samrakshana Samiti', an umbrella outfit of farmers' associations and other organisations led by farmer leader Kuruburu Shanthakumar had given the call for the Bengaluru shutdown on Tuesday.
«On the Cauvery water dispute, we have had detailed discussions and come to a certain decision. The Bengaluru bandh should be successful without any confusion tomorrow.
I appeal to hotel and shop owners and organisations to shut their establishments tomorrow, without giving any different statements — for the sake of maintaining peace and order and in support of Bengaluru's cause,» Yediyurappa said. Speaking to reporters here, he said that in case any one by opening shops and hotels tries to create any confusion, they will be responsible for hindrance that will be caused to law and order.
«So without heeding to anyone, give full cooperation to bandh.» «Our party workers will try to ensure that the bandh is successful and peaceful.
