Top leaders of the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress sought the blessings of lord Anjaneya (Hanuman) on the eve of polling day, on May 9. The visit went beyond invoking divine blessings as both the parties used the occasion to make a political point.
BJP leaders Shobha Karandlaje, Gopalaiah and Malavika Avinash offered pooja at the Veeranjaneya temple in Mahalaxmi Layout of Bengaluru, and targeted the Congress that has proposed to ban on the Bajrang Dal in its manifesto, by claiming that the proposal has created a fear psychosis in Karnataka.
