Kannada activist and Vatal Paksha leader Vatal Nagaraj has announced that Kannada organisations, along with Dalit and farmers’ organisations with a regional perspective, would form Karnataka Praja Samyukta Ranga and field candidates in the Assembly elections.

He said he would hold discussions shortly with farmers’ and Dalit organisations who have concern and commitment for the development of Kannada language and Karnataka, on contesting on a single election manifesto highlighting the State’s issues.

After launching a website of the paksha on Saturday, Mr. Nagaraj said Karnataka and Kannadigas do not get justice from the national political parties.

Mr. Nagaraj, who was an MLA for five terms, said there was poor representation in the Legislative Assembly, the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha of people who could raise their voice for the cause of Kannada.
