Prakash Raj joins protest in Mangaluru against BJP government

Actor Prakash Raj participated in a ‘Janata Nadige’ march in Mangaluru, organized by a joint platform of secular parties and organizations. The protest, which moved from Ambedkar Circle to the Clock Tower, called for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Prakash Raj stated that the movement is not only against the Election Commission of India (ECI) but is also a struggle to overthrow the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and inspired by the RSS. He alleged that the ECI is being used to erase votes increased in recent elections and to strip citizens of their right to vote.

During his speech, Raj criticized the central government's impact on the health, economy, and employment of youth in the Dakshina Kannada district. He emphasized that the movement aims to change the government through the constitutional right to vote rather than through violence.
