Bharatiya Janata Party plans to protest at district headquarters across Karnataka State, India, June 28. Disruptions possible.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to protest at district headquarters across Karnataka State June 28 to denounce alleged corruption and misuse of funds by the state government. Organizers did not specify a start time for the action. Other potential gathering venues include political party offices, government buildings, press clubs, sports grounds, public squares, and thoroughfares. Participation levels will likely vary by locale, with the largest turnouts likely in major urban centers such as Bengaluru, Belagavi, Hubballi, Mangaluru, and Mysuru. Well-attended gatherings could draw hundreds of participants.
Authorities will probably monitor any gatherings that materialize and may move to disperse overly unruly crowds. Clashes between police and activists and between supporters of rival political camps cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators could march along and/or block roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are possible.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
