Hassan: As a show of strength in support of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, coming days after the Congress party’s emphatic victory in the by-polls to three Assembly segments of the State, thousands of people from several districts of old Mysuru region took part in ‘Janakalyana Samavesha’ organised by Congress party with support of Swabhimanigala Okkoota, a forum supporting the CM, at Hassan this noon.
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.
