DK Shivakumar’s bike rally in Hosapete

Even as heavy rains battered the tech-capital, triggering waterlogging in several areas, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru development minister DK Shivakumar led a bike rally in Hosapete, Vijayanagara district, on May 19.


The rally, organised by the Youth Congress, was part of the 'Sadhana Samavesha' celebrations to mark the Congress government’s second anniversary in the state.


Shivakumar rode a two-wheeler, flanked by Youth Congress workers and party flags — a move that drew criticism from the opposition BJP and JD(S), who questioned the timing of the event amid the city's flood crisis.
