Muneer Katipalla, State President of DYFI in his address warned of a severe protest if the police fail to make headway into the investigation within a week and also if the compensation was not paid to Ratna family by then.
State Secretary of SFI Gururaj Desai and others spoke on the occasion.
The protestors handed over a memorandum to the Secretary of the MLA in his absence. The protest was held amid tight security arrangements.

We the people are fools and get fooled by the MLA’s and Politicians very easily.Till the time of election they come to the doorstep and beg for the vote, make promises.Once they win a seat,they are not to be seen. We need permission to meet them. Whom to question? On the whole, politics itself is corrupted. | |

Our Politicians are not taking any interest to give justice to the people in such cases because they do not have any concern to the life of common people. | |
