Kakinada: The BJP activists staged a dharna in front of the Collector's office here on Thursday expressing serious concern over shifting of Ganesh idols immersion venue from Vinayaka Sagar to some other location.

Participating in the agitation, BJP MLC Somu Veerraju lashed out at the officials and the state government and demanded the officials should reveal the hidden agenda of relocating the venue hurting the sentiments of Hindus.
