Thiruvananthapuram: The BJP has decided to intensify its agitation against the UDF government’s alleged corruption and lay a 24-hour siege to the secretariat from Monday. The party supporters from Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta will gather at the secretariat and block all the four gates from 5 p.m. The agitation will be formally inaugurated by BJP national president Amit Shah at 12 noon on Tuesday.
BJP sources said that over 20, 000 supporters would participate in the siege. State president V. Muraleedharan and other senior leaders would stay back with the agitators on Monday night. More protestors will come from other districts on Tuesday morning. The secretariat staff would not be blocked as the protest is against the corrupt UDF government, sources said.
“The party chief will also attend a gathering of prominent BJP and community leaders and citizens in the capital city on Tuesday evening,” said Mr Muraleedharan. The protest will mark the beginning of the BJP’s campaign for the local body elections in September.
