thehindu.com

Members of the Jain community are organizing a "Bengaluru Chalo" protest today. They are unhappy with the Karnataka government's lack of action on their demands, including the establishment of a development board. During a press conference, Jain monk Sri Gunadhar Nandi Maharaj criticized the Siddaramaiah-led government for only addressing three of their seven demands. The community feels let down by the recent State Budget as well. Protesters will meet with various government officials, starting with Minister Zameer Ahmed, to discuss their demands. If their concerns are not addressed, they plan to hold a larger convention in June.
