Priyanka Gandhi tries to make dosa, Siddaramaiah gives Bommai pat on back
The Hindu
Have you ever wondered what life is like on the campaign trail. Is it all work and no play?
With campaigning for the Karnataka Assembly elections picking up steam, political parties are bringing top leaders to woo voters. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined the campaign on April 25. By the time Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath landed in Mandya on April 26 to put his might behind the BJP campaign, she had already launched a charm offensive, outside the main arena.
On April 26, Ms Priyanka visited a restaurant in Mysuru for breakfast where she not only interacted with other patrons, but also tried her hand at making dosas.
The charm offensive was not restricted to Ms Priyanka.
When former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah ran into Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Belagavi airport, he greeted his BJP rival with respect and then, in a friendly gesture, went on to pat his back.
Mr Bommai appears taken aback, and tries to reciprocate the show of camaraderie.
