Minister Ajay Singh was accorded a grand welcome by Congress workers and supporters on his first visit to Kalaburagi after assuming office as the Minister, with a colourful procession making its way through the city on Saturday (August 22).
The procession proceeded through Super Market, Chowk Circle and Jagat Circle before culminating at Dr. S.M. Pandit Rangamandir. Congress flags fluttered along the route as supporters accompanied the Minister, while performances of Dollu Kunitha, Thamate and Banjo lent a festive air to the procession.
Supporters showered Mr. Singh with rose petals as the procession passed through the city. At some stretches, bulldozers were deployed to shower flower petals on the Minister; people along the route also greeted him.
Medical Minister Sharan Prakash Patil, Allamprabhu Patil, MLA, MLCs Jagdev Guttedar and Thippannappa Kamakanoor, KKRTC chairman Arun Kumar Patil, Gescom chairman Praveen Patil Harawal and Sharan Modi were among those who accompanied Mr. Singh.
