Mysore/Mysuru: Strongly condemning the Government over rising food prices, Kannada Chaluvali leader and former MLA Vatal Nagaraj staged protest near Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Circle (Hardinge Circle) here yesterday.

Mocking the Government by selling vegetables on a cart, Vatal Nagaraj claimed that the prices of all commodities are increasing everyday, which has severely burdened the common man, who is already put to a lot of hardship due to COVID-19 lockdown.

He also urged the Government to either impose ban on sale of liquor or decrease its price.

Protest against Kerala

Vatal Nagaraj also warned of protest against Kerala Government if Kannada names of the villages in Kasaragodu district are changed to Malayalam language names.
