The Bengaluru bandh demand issued by a combination of farmers and Kannada organisations under the auspices of Karnataka Jala Samrakshana Samiti is expected to bring the city to a standstill on Tuesday, September 26. With opposition parties such as the BJP, JDS, Aam Aadmi Party pledging support for the bandh request and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stating that the government will not try to stifle any rallies in a democracy, all indicators point to a total bandh.
