Rahul Gandhi prays at Goddess Chamundeshwari temple in Mysuru


Mysuru (Karnataka), Mar 24 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Satuday offered prayers at a Hindu temple here for the party's success in the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls.

"Gandhi drove to the hill-top temple along with senior Congress leaders beginning his two-day visit to the state's old Mysuru region," a party official told IANS.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, party's state unit president G. Parameshwara and Energy Minister D.K. Shivakumar accompanied the Congress President to the renowned Goddess Chamundeshwari temple located on a hilltop dating back to the 12th century.

This is his fourth visit to the poll-bound state since February.

During the visit, the Congress chief will be holding public meetings and interacting with party cadres and people in Mandya and Chamrajnagar districts.

He will also address a rally on Sunday.

    If temple visit brings more vote, then it is good for congress. If bjp can do that, why cant congress.

    ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದರೂ ತಪ್ಪು ಹೋಗದೆ ಇದ್ದರೂ ತಪ್ಪು.
    ಸಿದ್ರಾಮಯ್ಯ ಉಡುಪಿ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗದೇ ಇದ್ದುದಕ್ಕೆ ಶೋಭಕ್ಕ ತನ್ನ ಗಂಡು ಸ್ವರದಲ್ಲಿ ದೊಡ್ಡದಾಗಿ ಕಿರುಚಾಡಿದಳು.
    ಆದರೆ ಈಗ ರಾಹುಲ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ ದೇವಾಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದರೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೂ ಬಿ‌ಜೆ‌ಪಿ ಗಳು ಅರಚಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಎಂತಹಾ ವಿಪರ್ಯಾಸ.
    ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಭಕ್ತಿಯ ನಾಟಕ ಆಡುವುದು ಕೇವಲ ಬಿ‌ಜೆ‌ಪಿ ಯವರ ಏಕಸ್ವಾಮ್ಯವೇ ?

    ..the way Congress incited Dalits against BJP/RSS all over the country & spread lies saying they are still oppresed , i thought Congress will make seperate religion for Dalit..but, surprisingly they made a separate Religion for Lingayats who never complained about RSS & vote bank of RSS..this resulted infighting/attacks between community..and Congress says it spreads love..

    Another example of pleasing the people thru religion ! not by the development plans. Its just like cinema
    !the big big dreams on screen and we believe it and we worship our fake screen heroes ( they make money) likewise we pay the taxes and representatives will make wrong decision ( public is not involved to share the opinion ) and enjoy the tax money.

    Thank you democrazy

    Why not? Let Rahul too visit temple! Temple is not BJP's property alone! God belongs to all not only saffron party! Further, unlike opposition Rahul visits Churches and mosques too! That the sign of united India of several religion faith followers unlike Yogi! BJP has nowhere to go now, losing supporters on fake promises and oratory skills and no action!

    Yes very true. Yediyurappa after swallowing crores of rupees used to visit temples and matts. After killing so many people and swindling the money, even Amit Shah visited temples and matts. So, all politicians one and the same. There is no difference between Congress and BJP.

    Did Rahau Gandhi in his election rally speech, any time address PM Narendra Modijee disrespectfully. If you watch Modijee speech, it is nothing but personal attack on Rahul Gandhi family and blaming Congress.

    It is your decision whether you vote to Congress party or Rahul Gandhi.
