Suggesting closure of schools and colleges in the light of COVID-19 surge in the State, the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday blamed the Congress padayatra on Mekedatu issue for the rise in the number of cases.
“In the name of padayatra, the Congress organised a fair. It also made the common man break the rules citing that politicians were violating norms. This led to an increase in the cases in Ramanagaram district where the padayatra was taken out, and across the State,” he told reporters here. “The Congress had always ignored water issues pertaining to the State. Only because elections are nearing, it remembered Mekedatu,” he alleged.
