Ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, the political rally will attempt to tour all constituencies in the Karnataka
Congress leaders began their Praja Dhwani bus rally from the Veera Soudha monument in Belagavi on Wednesday.
They arrived at Veera Soudha, the site of the 1924 Congress session in Belagavi and sat through a session of bhajans and prayer.
the Leader of the Opposition Siddharamaiah said the rally was aimed at exposing the lies of the BJP government. Congress leaders will travel through most constituencies in the State and reach out to people. “The people are upset with the BJP’s governance at the Centre and the State. We are only amplifying their voice and expressing solidarity with them,” he said.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committe (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar said Belagavi was chosen for the launch of the bus rally as it hosted Mahatma Gandhi as the chairman of the 1924 Congress session. He said senior leaders would cover at least 20 districts.
“The BJP has sullied the image of Karnataka in the three-and-a-half years of its administration. We are asking people to throw them out,” the KPCC chief said.
Sri Basava Jaya Mrutyunjay Swami of Kudal Sangama Panchamsali peetha has perfectly summed up the State government’s false promise to the community about the 2A reservation. However, the State government is misleading not just one community, but all the communities that are demanding reservation or reclassification,” he added.
Randeep SinghSurjewala, R V Deshpande, M B Patil, Lakshmi Hebbalkar, Channaraj Hattiholi, and others were present.
