Mangalore, Aug 13: The Dakshina Kannada unit of ABVP along with Youth Against Corruption (YAC) staged a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Tuesday August 13 against the UPA government.

Prior to the protest, hundreds of students marched from Jyothi circle shouting slogans against the government.

Addressing the protestors, ABVP state secretary Ramesh said that in the entire administrative history of the country, corruption has been at its worst under the UPA rule.

"The government is responsible for looting more than Rs 12 lac crore in various scams and many central ministers are involved in it," he said.

"The government was unsuccessful in controlling inflation. The rupee value is decreasing drastically and poverty is increasing in the country," he said.

"The central government is responsible for the corruption in the education sector and for commercializing it. It is due to the corrupt and careless nature of the central government that the country’s financial condition is in the doldrums," he added.

"The ABVP has been repeatedly demanding to bring the black money back to India and also disclose the names of people involved in corruption, but nothing has been done in this regard," Ramesh lamented.

The protestors demanded a change in the system which they said was hampering the country’s progress and also urged improvement in the judicial system, election system, administration, police and education systems.
