(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) After being confronted by irate depositors who had lost money in a multi-crore fraud involving the Sri Guru Raghavendra Sahakara Bank Niyamitha (SGRSBN), BJP MP Tejasvi Surya was forced to leave a public gathering in Bengaluru.
The incident occurred during a brainstorming session of the Co-operative Bank Association with politicians ahead of Lok Sabha elections. Supporters of Surya and Basavangudi MLA Ravi Subramanian were also present.
The conference descended into chaos as the scam's victims, angry depositors, sought explanations from political figures about why their losses hadn't been compensated for longer. In the meeting's video, angry depositors could be heard yelling at Tejasvi Surya and obstructing his exit from the premises. During the meeting, Surya's followers are also accused of berating and mistreating the depositors.
