karnataka bandh 22nd jan 2011 | BJP calls for Karnataka shut-down Saturday :

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party late Friday called for Karnataka 'bandh' (shut-down) Saturday against Governor H.R. Bhardwaj permitting prosecution of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa over land scandals.

'We will organise Karnataka bandh tomorrow (Saturday),' party spokesperson S. Prakash told IANS, within hours of Bhardwaj announcing that he had sanctioned filing of criminal cases against Yeddyurappa.

The BJP had announced earlier that it would hold rallies across the state and would meet President Pratibha Patil in New Delhi Jan 24 demanding Bhardwaj's recall, accusing him of being 'biased' against Yeddyurappa and the BJP government in the state.
