During the protest, Committee president N Lukhoi and secretary Y Basanta led the participants in shouting slogans against the BJP while donning black masks.
TBCC president Inaojuge said that the BJP governments in both at the Centre and ill the state have degraded democracy and it is clearly evident in the conviction of Rahul Gandhi and subsequent steps taken up by the BJP government against the Congress leader.
