Bengaluru: With the remarks that he made at Kolar during his 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign being responsible for his recent conviction in a defamation suit and subsequent disqualification from the Lok Sabha, top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has decided to launch the party's campaign for the Karnataka Assembly polls from Kolar itself.
With the Election Commission likely to announce poll schedule anytime in the first half of April, the Congress had begun preparations to launch its campaign from Mulbagal in Kolar district on Apr. 5, the place where Rahul allegedly made abusive and insulting remarks targeting the Modi community, which ultimately resulted in filing of a defamation case against him at a Court in Surat, Gujarat and subsequent conviction and disqualification as MP from Waynad, Kerala.
