Police detains protesting Congress workers in Bengaluru ahead of PM Modi’s visit | ABP News

Police detained Congress workers, who had organised a protest ahead of the arrival of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru, on April 20. The Police arrested them before they began their protest, permission for which was denied by the Police.
Talking about the protest, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said, “Kannadigas demand their right. We give Rs 100 to the government of India in taxes and Kannadigas get Rs 13 back only. When they demand their share of their own taxes, Modi ji gives them 'Chombu'. When there has been a drought in the state for six months now, the Congress government of Karnataka is asking for Rs 17,400 crore of drought relief money for our farmers, for our poor across the state, Modi ji gives us 'Chombu'...Time to defeat BJP's government and to elect Congress nationally.” 
Congress leader Rizwan Arshad said “We’ve asked for compensation, relief funds which is our right. This is not any kind of alms given by PM Modi or BJP and they are making us suffer for that too…when you don’t want to give us our rights then with how you can come and ask votes from us. If you don’t want to give Karnataka, its rights then we will protest.”
