Students of Rani Channamma University blocked the car of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai when he arrived to lay the foundation stone for the university’s new building in Hire Bagewadi village near Belagavi on December 22.

They shouted slogans against the Karnataka Government for failing to keep its promise of giving laptops to students.
