“BJP planning to show black flags”
The Congress in Karnataka on Sunday alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is distributing black flags to its (BJP) workers, which it plans to show to Rahul Gandhi when the opposition party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra arrives in the city. Addressing reporters here, Congress state unit president DK Shivakumar said, “I have come to know that BJP leaders have distributed black flags all over Mysuru. I will talk to the police commissioner. Showing black flags, throwing stones and eggs will not scare us, let them do whatever they want. I will give them results in future.” Congress MLA and former minister Priyank Kharge claimed that the BJP is “worried” by the response to the Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in the state.
