“Government can arrest one Anna. Because of his sacrifices thousands of Anna Hazares will surface all across the nation” he said adding that the Congress led government is against the people.

Kishore Kumar Shetty, President, Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha accused the government of dividing the people by employing cheap tricks to win over the vote bank. “We are ready to fight for our nation. We are ready to sacrifice our lives”, he claimed and promised to enter the “Jail Bharo” campaign.
