The BJP in Karnataka wants the government to let Hindus celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in a big way.
They're worried that the government is making different rules for different groups, which they think is unfair to Hindus.
They are especially concerned about restrictions on music during the celebrations in some areas, like Kalaburagi and Mangaluru, which they believe is hurting the livelihoods of sound system operators.
The BJP is calling for the same rules for everyone and accusing the Congress government of not supporting Hindu celebrations.
