At Manipal Tiger circle BJP District President Udaykumar Shetty and MLA Ragupathi Bhat jointly gave the start to the bike rally. Behind Vilas Nayak who tied black cloth over his eyes, about 25 activists in their two wheelers rode through Indrali, MGM, Kadiyali to the Udupi Service Bus Station in a rally.

 

 

Later Vilas Nayak spoke and said, even though the country wide protest is taking place to get the black money from abroad, the UPA government behaves as if they are covering their eyes with black cloth, protesting this symbolically we drove with our eyes covered with black cloth, he said. On this occasion the State BJP Yuva Morcha President spoke and along with him Municipality President Kiran Kumar was also present.

 

On this occasion in front of Board High School, near the Service Station from Sunday 7.00 pm to Monday 7.00 pm the unbroken protest was going on which was organized by BJP. Here songs of Dasa and Bajane were played in the loud speaker. At one moment MLA Ragupathi Bhat got inspired to the song “Govinda – Govinda” and before the TV cameras he danced singing – Govind Govinda, Sonia Govinda, Manmohan Singh Govinda..., seeing him other activists also got inspired and joined him. The protest was conducted even this way also.
