The Bengaluru traffic police are expected to deploy additional personnel and arrange diversions. Congress leaders have assured that they will cooperate with authorities to ensure smooth movement for examinees.
Political significance of the event
The appointment of Hariprasad comes at a crucial time as the Congress gears up for upcoming elections. The rally is seen as a show of strength and a move to consolidate the party's base in Karnataka. Hariprasad, known for his grassroots connect, is expected to rejuvenate the party organization. According to party insiders, the convention will also feature addresses by top state and national leaders.
