Karnataka BJP on Thursday held “Cycle Jatha” here, as part of its state-wide protest against the Congress government’s decision to hike petrol and diesel prices.
BJP workers and leaders led by its state President B Y Vijayendra sought to mark their protest by riding bicycles from the party’s state office ‘Jagannath Bhavan’ to ‘Vidhana Soudha’.
However, the police stopped the protesters mid-way, detained Vijayendra and others and whisked them away in a bus.
