Congress's Counterattack on Jan Akrosh Yatra

Karnataka BJP has started a 16-day Jan Akrosh Yatra against the state government from Monday. Under this Jan Akrosh Yatra, Karnataka BJP leaders will protest across the state and will try to corner the Congress government on issues like inflation, giving four percent reservation to Muslims and allegedly diverting the funds of SC and ST category.
