A cycle rally, led by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, protesting against the failure of the Centre in containing the rising prices of essential commodities including food grains, was held in the city today.

The Chief Minister, accompanied by his cabinet colleagues, including Home Minister Dr V S Acharya, Planning Minister Govinda Karjol and State BJP unit President K S Eshwarappa, peddled from Mahathma Gandhi Road to Rajbhavan and submitted a memorandum to the Governor.

The rally, attended by BJP legislators and a large number of party workers, asumes significance in the wake of the March 28 civic elections to Bangalore City Corporation (BBMP).

Addressing a gathering near the Mahathma Gandhi Statue, Mr Eshwarappa alleged that UPA government at the Center was imposing fresh taxes.
