Mysuru: Congress women workers have decided to distribute vegetables to elected representatives at their doorsteps as a Deepavali gift in Mysuru.
On Friday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) women’s wing president Pushpa Amarnath shared the details about the distribution of vegetables. The poor and middle-class people are badly affected by the rise in the prices of essential commodities, she added.
“We want to make BJP leaders and the government realise that the common man is suffering due to the rise in prices of essential commodities and they should bring programmes to support people. We will distribute onions, potatoes and tomatoes to BJP leaders houses as a mark of protest,” she said.
On the alleged assault on a woman by BJP MLA Siddu Savadi, Pushpa asked why MP Shobha Karandlaje was silent on the issue.
“We are waiting for her reaction on the BJP MLA assaulting a woman, and the video has gone viral. Women are assaulted in BJP ruled states. The sad part is that whenever there is a BJP leader involved in an assault on women, BJP women leaders stay silent,” she said.
