The multi-crore Solar Scam in Kerala is now rocking neighbouring Karnataka as well. Now, the opposition BJP is demanding the sacking of KC Venugopal, who was recently made the General Secretary of All India Congress Committee in charge of poll-bound Karnataka.

On Friday, the women's wing of the BJP’s Karnataka unit held a protest against KC Venugopal, at Bengaluru’s Maurya Circle.

The demonstrations were led by Udupi MP Shobha Karandlaje.

"We have come to know that KC Venugopal had sexually assaulted a few women. The Congress has welcomed such a rapist and molester of women into our state. We demand that the Congress leaders including Siddaramaiah, KJ George and Dinesh Gundurao talk to the high command and ask for Venugopal to leave the state,” the MP told reporters.

“If the Congress does not heed to our demand, we will hold black flags wherever Venugopal goes. We will even go to New Delhi and hold a protest outside the Congress headquarters," she added.
