Overview

  • BJP staged a massive 'Kalaburagi Chalo' protest on May 24, demanding the removal of Minister Priyank Kharge from the Karnataka cabinet.
  • The protest follows claims that Kharge's supporters detained Opposition Leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy for five hours in Chittapur over a political dispute.
  • BJP leaders allege that Kharge orchestrated the incident as an act of political vengeance and accuse him of misusing his power to target opposition figures.
  • Party leaders, including B.Y. Vijayendra and C.T. Ravi, have criticized Kharge's governance, describing Kalaburagi as a 'goonda district' under his influence.
  • The BJP is pressing for a judicial probe into the alleged detention and has submitted an appeal to the Karnataka Governor for Kharge's dismissal from the cabinet.
