BJP Mahila Morcha protests milk price hikes in Bengaluru

The BJP State Mahila Morcha staged a protest at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Monday against the Karnataka government’s decision to increase the prices of milk and curd. Led by Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje, protesters carried milk packets and cans to demonstrate their opposition to the price hikes.

Karandlaje demanded that the Congress-led state government roll back the increases to provide relief to farmers and ordinary citizens. She criticized the administration, alleging that the state government's effectiveness has declined significantly over recent months. Karandlaje noted that the rising costs of essential goods, alongside other expenses like rent and utilities, are causing severe hardship for low-income workers, including taxi drivers and hotel employees.
