Around 900 members of the Bharatiya Janata Party led by former Home Minister R. Ashok staged a protest demanding CBI inquiry into an alleged scam involving R.R. Nagar constituency MLA Muniratna Naidu and the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

The protesters alleged that the recent raid by the Lokayukta had revealed that R.R. Nagar MLA Muniratna Naidu and his relatives, who are contractors in the BBMP, are involved in the scam.
