Vijayendra has said that his party along with the NDA ally JD (S), will begin a seven-day ‘padayatra’ on Saturday from Bengaluru till Mysuru, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s native place, to fight against the corruption cases involving the Congress-led state government.
Speaking at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, the State BJP President on Friday said, “The ‘Mysuru Chalo’ padayatra organised jointly by the BJP and JD (S) will start tomorrow morning (August 3).”

“The Congress government functioning in the state is corrupt and involved in scams. It is “anti-poor” and discriminatory against marginalised communities. The Congress government has delivered zero development and is ineffective,” he said.
