When Congress stole a march over BJP
The ruling BJP, which has always remained far ahead in using technology and innovative practices in political programmes, was completely outsmarted by the Opposition Congress on Independence Day.
The manner in which the Congress took out a mega Freedom March for about 7 km in Bengaluru set a new precedent. For the first time, the party used Bengaluru metro trains for the smooth transport of its members who came from different districts surrounding Bengaluru. They were made to park their vehicles on the city’s outskirts near metro stations from where they boarded the metro to reach the city centre to take part in the march.
