Thousands attend Congress rally
The rally was held at S.M. Krishna Nagar in the outskirts of Hassan, which is considered as a bastion of the Opposition JD(S) party for long. Hassan is also the home district of JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda and the Congress has organised the rally in Hassan to take on JD(S) in its home turf.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and many members of the State Cabinet and prominent Congress leaders are taking part in the rally.
Former Minister H.M. Revanna, currently the Chairman of the State Guarantees Implementation Authority, who was the first to address the rally, recalled that Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had taken out a ‘Bharat Jodo’ yatra across the country in the run up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Noting that the rally has been organised to sensitise the public on how the Congress has kept its words and promises to the people, Revanna said that the efficient implementation of the guarantee schemes have been successful in contradiction to PM Modi’s oft repeated comments that the implementation of the schemes were unpractical and would drain the revenues.
Earlier, CM Siddaramaiah, his Deputy D.K. Shivakumar, who is also the KPCC President, State Congress In-charge Randeep Surjewala and several other Cabinet Ministers including Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara arrived in a helicopter from Bengaluru at around 1 pm to take part in the rally. Hassan District In-charge Minister K.N. Rajanna is overseeing the event.
