When senior Congress leader SR Patil led the Sankalp Yatra in Karnataka’s Bagalkot on April 14, many who attended the gathering were waiting for the entire program to end. No, it was not long speeches or crowds, but a huge apple garland on which the eyes of the supporters were fixed.
Patil was awarded a huge apple garland made of about 800 kg of fruit. Once the program was over, the leader left the garland behind, and soon, a sea of people gathered on the truck carrying the garland and tried to snatch as many apples as possible. The cost of the garland is said to be Rs 1.5 lakh.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media in which supporters can be seen jumping on each other to snatch apples from the garland. Given the high price of apples – between Rs 180-250 per kg – frenzy was expected. Actually, a man had held the garland so tightly that when it was pulled from the crane, it was seen hanging with it.
Sankalp Yatra North Karnataka is organized by Swabhimani Vedike and people from all parties are encouraged to participate. The main agenda is the demand for irrigation in the Krishna-Mahadayi-Navali region. The tractor rally has reached Bagalkot and will go to the affected area.
