The state Congress chief’s election campaign began at Mulbagal in Kolar district after offering prayers at the ancient Ganapati temple at Kudumalai.
He later tweeted, “Worshipped the Shaligram idol of Mahaganapati at Kudumalai in Mulbagal. I prayed that the Praja Dhvani Yatra continues without any trouble in Kolar district.” Earlier, Shivakumar’s motorcade was given a rousing welcome at KR Puram in East Bengaluru, where a large number of party workers garlanded him and others on the bus.
Sharing a video later, Shivakumar tweeted, “A glimpse of the people’s faith in the Congress Party’s vision – the way KR Puram welcomed us with unspeakable enthusiasm and love.” Shivakumar, leading a team of 54 party leaders, will take out his bus tour from February 3 to 9.
