We won’t let their plan succeed: KPCC president
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D.K. Shivakumar has accused the BJP Government of conspiring to stop the Congress’ padayatra from Mekedatu to Bengaluru.
Talking to reporters here on Monday, he said it was “impossible” to stop the 10-day padayatra, starting on January 9.
Mr. Shivakumar said the party had taken adequate precautionary measures against COVID-19: one lakh face masks and sufficient quantity of sanitisers for use by the participants, had been ordered.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
