Mangalore, Jan 8, 2013: District Youth Congress President Mithun Rai has informed that the Youth Congress will be holding a mass vehicle rally in Mangalore on January 15 to protest against the misrule of the BJP government in the state.

Addressing media persons on January 8, Tuesday, he said the rally aimed at creating an awareness in the society regarding the manner in which the BJP was trying to divide the youth on communal lines. He also charged the BJP of considering every issue from a communal angle.

He said the rally   will be flagged off at the Urva Grounds at 3.30 p.m. and will reach Kannur grounds via Lady Hill - Hill Road - Jyoti - Balmatta - Bendurwell - Pumpwell - Nagori and Alape.

Several party leaders will take part in the rally, he said adding Congress units from all seven constituencies will present various programmes like street plays to create awareness on the inefficiency of the state government.

Mithun Rai said that internal squabbles have been haunting the BJP since the past  four months and added the party has been split into three. The BJP leaders who have shrugged off their responsibility of providing good governance were instead  looting the treasury, he alleged.

President of Youth Congress unit of Mangalore South constituency  Praveen Chandra Alva, KPCC Secretary Ivan D’Souza, former Mayor Ashraf and others were present.
