The mortal remains of BJP worker Praveen Nettaru, who was hacked to death by assailants, is being taken out in a procession from Puttur to his native Bellare on Wednesday.
The 50-hour-long sit-in began in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue inside the grounds of Parliament and is expected to end around noon today.
Arvind Kejriwal will face a similar difficulty before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as the BJP is anticipated to use the corruption issue to target its two main rivals, the TMC and AAP.
