Bengaluru: Buoyed by the emphatic victory of the Congress candidates in the by-polls held to three Assembly Constituencies of the State (Channapatna, Shiggaon and Sandur), followers of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah have planned to hold ‘Swabhimana Samavesha,’ a massive rally at Hassan, a JD(S) stronghold for decades, on Dec. 5 as a show of strength of the CM.
MLC Dr. Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of CM Siddaramaiah, has already begun the first round of preparations for the rally by holding talks with a few Cabinet Ministers. The massive rally has planned to cover old Mysuru districts of Hassan, Mandya, Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, Kodagu and Chikkamagalur and is expected to send a message to the people of these districts that they are no more strongholds of JD(S), which along with its alliance partner, the BJP, has been relentlessly targeting the CM.
