Led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, top Congress leaders from Karnataka on Wednesday staged a protest at Jantar Mantar here against the Centre over "injustice" meted out to the state in devolution of taxes

Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, several MPs, ministers and MLAs from the state took part in the protest

The Congress alleges that "injustice" has been meted out to Karnataka in tax devolution and grants-in-aid over the past few years

The protesters demanded that the Centre set right the losses to the tune of Rs 1.87 lakh crore allegedly incurred by Karnataka under the 15th Finance Commission

Siddaramaiah said this protest is not against the BJP but the discrimination against Karnataka
