"Party workers sought clarifications from the State Government for failures on many fronts and informed people about financial supports given to the State by the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre," said leaders.
"Crops have been damaged due to drought. As a result, many people are moving out of the State in search of work. Due to lack of safe drinking water, people are dying of jaundice. People are facing problems due to frequent power cuts. Teaching in the schools and colleges has been affected due to lack of teachers," alleged BJP workers during the satyagraha.
The party too raises Brahma Bibhrat issue and wanted to know when the culprits would be punished.
