The protest was led by Kodagu District Congress Committee President Dharmaja Uthappa. Among those present were Campaign Committee President T.P. Ramesh, former Member of the Legislative Council Shantayenda Veena Achaiah, MLC R.P. Chandrashekhar, Madikeri City Congress President Prakash Acharya, Social Media President Suraj Hosur, and party leaders and prominent members including Rubina, Minaj Praveen, Mohan V.G., Thennira Maina, Bhaiyanda Fancy Parvathi, Tatu Monnappa, K.G.
