Taking note of another schedule protest on January 25, Shettar maintained that such distraction would pave the way for the humiliating defeat of the Congress government.

The senior BJP leader went on saying that BJP would adopt the policy of tit for tat if rucks continue during the scheduled visit of PM Modi.

On this occasion, former Karnataka BJP Chief Pralhad Joshi former Ministers Basavaraj Bommai and C.C. Patil were present.
