Gulburga : The Congress walk to Bellary with folk dancers and tiger-men in the troop, was meaningless said Rajnath Singh, former President of BJP in the Gulbarga convention of leaders in a show of strength, after the one show in Davangere this week. He inaugurated the Janajagrithi Samavesha (people’s convention) of BJP leaders in Gulburga, when party and cabinet leaders were present on Thursday (Aug 5).
CM Yeddyurappa warned the Congress walkers going to Bellary that he would take legal action against the leaders and followers alike if they made too much noise in Bellary or any tragic incident took place in Bellary, but Siddaramiah, opposition leader countered the warning by saying that BJP will be taken to task if anything untoward happened when the Congressmen were nearing Bellary, in spite of police protection given to them. The lady constables who had accompanied the Bellary Chalo Journey of unhappy Congress were walking 20 kms a day along with DK and other Congressmen from KPCC, it is learnt.
