Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, former chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa were also present on the occasion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also campaigning in the last leg of the BJP's campaign for the Karnataka polls.
He has already conducted a number of rallies and held roadshows, the latest of which was in Mysuru, a traditional JDS bastion, on Sunday.
Considered as a triangular contest between the BJP, Congress and the JDS, all parties are trying hard and leaving no stone unturned while some political leaders have indulged in hurling abuses. The Congress, which fought the last Assembly polls in alliance with the JDS, decided to go it alone this time around.
