Congress's Counterattack on Jan Akrosh Yatra

Karnataka BJP has started a 16-day Jan Akrosh Yatra against the state government from Monday.

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar took a dig at the BJP in a video message and said, "Greetings to all my BJP colleagues. You all are taking out Jan Akrosh Yatra, but at the same time the central government has increased the prices of petrol, diesel and gas. So now your Jan Akrosh Yatra should be against the BJP. I congratulate all of you for taking out Jan Akrosh Yatra against the BJP."
