BJP leaders held a protest at Majestic in Bengaluru on November 5, condemning the state government's bus fare hike. During the protest, two BJP workers symbolically begged, wearing masks of Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Transport Minister Bairathi Suresh, calling the government 'Diwali Sarkar.' When police attempted to take the BJP leaders into custody, they reportedly dragged them, leading to Ravi Kumar showing his injury on the street.
