Opposition BJP and JD(S) members filled the Karnataka Assembly with bhajans and slogans through an overnight protest demanding the resignation of Excise Minister R B Timmapur.
The agitation, which began on Tuesday night, highlights allegations of corruption in the Excise Department, including a Rs 6,000 crore scam.
The opposition's demand followed the arrest of officials allegedly receiving bribes to issue liquor licenses. Minister Timmapur dismissed calls for resignation, citing anti-corruption efforts while opposition MLAs plan to continue their demonstration.
