Udupi, Oct 26,2016 : The city unit of the BJP which is strongly opposed to the proposal of the state government to privatise the Government women and Children’s Hospital here, has decided to stage a black flag demonstration against the Chief Minister during his visit to the city on October 30 to lay foundation for a 400 bed hospital in the same place under private ownership.

The decision to hold the protest was taken at a party meeting held on October 25, Tuesday. The meeting was attended among others by District BJP Chief Mattaru Ratnakar Hegde and former MLA Raghupati Bhat.
