The protest, which began peacefully, quickly turned chaotic as police took JD(S) leaders and workers away in their vehicles. A video shared by PTI shows the party workers chanting slogans and resisting arrest as the police try to take them away. The footage has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage and concern among citizens.
According to reports, the JD(S) protest was called in response to the recent price hike in diesel, electricity, and bus fares.

The Congress-led government has been under fire for its handling of the economy, with critics accusing it of being corrupt and insensitive to the needs of the common man. The government has been accused of favoring big businesses and cronies, while ignoring the needs of ordinary citizens.
The JD(S) protest is the latest in a series of demonstrations and agitations against the government’s policies. The party has been at the forefront of the protests, with its leaders and workers taking to the streets to demand action on issues like price hike and corruption.
The government has responded to the protests by saying that it is taking steps to address the issue of price hike and corruption. However, the JD(S) has accused the government of making empty promises and of not taking concrete action to address the issue.
The protests have sparked concerns about the state of democracy in Karnataka, with many citizens calling for greater transparency and accountability from the government. The protests have also highlighted the need for greater protection for freedom of assembly and expression, as the police have been accused of using excessive force to disperse the crowd.
The JD(S) protest is a clear indication that the people of Karnataka are fed up with the government’s handling of the economy and are demanding change. The government must take concrete steps to address the issue of price hike and corruption, and must work to restore the trust of the people.
