CHAMARAJANAGAR: Ahead of Bharat Jodo Yatra entering Karnataka, welcome flexes bearing pictures of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi were seen vandalised at Gundlupet town in Chamarajanagar district on Thursday.
The flexes were installed by the Congress party to welcome Rahul Gandhi, who is scheduled to arrive at Gundlupet on September 30. Other flexes that were put on the highway passing through Gundlupet, having pictures of other Congress leaders, were also torn, according to reports.
More than 40 flexes were reported to be torn. The Congress leaders have accused BJP workers of this ‘mischief’.
Rahul Gandhi is currently leading Bharat Jodo Yatra, a national campaign of the party in a few decades. The 3,500-km march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir will be completed in 150 days and cover as many as 12 states.
From Kerala, the Yatra will traverse through the state for the next 18 days, reaching Karnataka on September 30. It will be in Karnataka for 21 days before moving north. The Padayatra (march) will cover a distance of 25 km every day. (ANI)
