In a show of one-upmanship, Karnataka Rakshana Vedhike activists remove poster put up by auto drivers for the occasion
Tension prevailed at JP Nagar 6th Phase bus stop as auto drivers belonging to the Jai Bhuvaneshwari Auto Drivers Association protested against the removal of their poster by the Karnataka Rakshana Vedhike (KRV).
The activists belonging to KRV removed the poster, which was put up by the auto drivers association at JP Nagar 35th main road near the auto stand.

The Association's General Secretary Venkatesh said, "How can they come and remove the pole which we had put up? We were supposed to celebrate Rajyotsava on November 3, which they don't want."
The auto drivers are demanding for justice and seeking an apology from the Karnataka Rakshana Vedhike members for insulting them by removing the flag post that too on Kannada Rajyotsava Day.
"We have this autorickshaw stand for the last 20 years at the same place and we have been celebrating Kannada Rajyotsava every year. But suddenly last night some KRV activists have done this shameful job by removing the pole which was put up by our association," said a member of Jai Bhuvaneshwari Auto Drivers Association.
The members of the association went to JP Nagar police station to lodge a complaint against KRV around 12.45 am.
