In addition, critics accused Marwadi traders of running syndicate-style businesses and selling poor-quality goods. Consequently, the issue grew beyond a single incident and transformed into a wider campaign against unfair practices. Furthermore, the slogan gained momentum both online and on the streets, with Telangana witnessing protests in several districts.

Meanwhile, the controversy reached Bengaluru’s Sivananda Circle, where another clash was reported. A Marwadi individual, allegedly driving on the wrong route, confronted a local auto driver. However, the driver refused to give way since he was in the correct lane. Therefore, a heated argument broke out, with the Marwadi man and his wife attempting to force the driver aside.

Soon after, a video of the clash went viral, and support for the auto driver grew rapidly. Consequently, netizens in Karnataka echoed Telangana’s protests and began posting “Go Back Marwadi” slogans across social media, further amplifying the campaign.
