It was chanting of Bajrangbali all the way. People were wearing the mask of Lord Hanuman and people dressed in huge Hanuman forms were on the roads.
Both Modi and Hanuman have taken over the roadshow with people shouting slogans for Bajrangabali and also Modi on day one. It was looking like a victory rally.
Modi began his 26 km roadshow in the city on Saturday morning, campaigning for the BJP, ahead of May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka.
The roadshow from Someshwar Bhavan RBI Ground in Bengaluru South to Malleshwaram’s Sankey Tank is expected to be covered in about three and a half hours, according to party sources.
Modi’s roadshow today will be passing through parts of south and central Bengaluru, touching about a dozen Assembly segments, they said.
Huge arrangements have been made along the stretch, like erecting barricades, to ensure that the roadshow goes on smoothly, as tens of thousands of people are expected to gather along the roadside, official sources said.
The entire route of PM is decked up with saffron hues as BJP flags were seen on either side of the road, and thousands of party workers and supporters too wearing saffron shawls and caps.
Band and Baaja were stationed along the stretch where Modi will take part in the roadshow in a specially designed vehicle. The roads turned yellow and saffron with flags and flowers all the way.
It was a huge success with people coming in large numbers to see and greet Modi here in Karnataka.
