On the first day of the 16 th Legislative Assembly session on May 22, a few Congress workers performed purification rituals by sprinkling cow urine on the premises of Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the government of Karnataka.
The workers said they performed the pooja to remove the ‘40% sarkara’ tag attached to the State when the BJP was in charge of the government. One of the Congress workers said the rituals symbolised washing away the ‘corrupt BJP government’ from Vidhana Soudha.
Workers of the Congress were seen, along with a priest, performing rituals with cow urine in front of Vidhana Soudha before the commencement of the three-day session of the new Assembly, in a show of cleansing the State secretariat.
