The BJP's Karnataka unit Tuesday demanded that the State government convene an assembly session immediately to discuss the sale of land to JSW steel.

Senior BJP leader andformer deputy chief minister R Ashoka said the party will intensify its protest on the issue.

The BJP will not accept the cabinet sub-committee report on it, he said.

"On Jindal issue our fight will continue, it will not stop here...we will not leave the issue until it reaches logical end. We are discussing on taking the protest on this issue to district and taluk level," Ashoka said.

He claimed that coalition leaders like Congress H K Patil and JD(S) A H Vishwanath and Basavaraj Horatti have raised objection to the sale of land to JSW Steel.

"..Congress party MLA from the region Anand Singh hasalso raised his objection to the sale of land."
