Bidadi row: JD(S) plans march from July 30; BJP keen on joint protest
The JD(S) has announced a padayatra against the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township project, with the BJP expressing interest in a joint protest. The coalition partners are coordinating their efforts despite some communication gaps regarding the protest schedule.
Why it matters
The coordination of political protests by coalition partners reflects the shifting dynamics of state-level political alliances.
A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced that it would launch a padayatra from Bidadi to Bengaluru against the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township (GBIT), its NDA partner, the Janata Dal (Secular), held a separate press conference on Saturday and announced its own padayatra. While the BJP said it was yet to decide the dates of its padayatra, the JD(S) announced its march would begin on July 30 and reach Bengaluru on August 1.
