High drama prevailed on Jhansi Lakshmi Bai Road in the city on Wednesday when Congress and BJP workers were stopped in their tracks while heading to the offices of their political rivals as part of their plans to hold a debate on the contributions of their respective parties to the development of Mysuru.
After Congress leader M. Lakshmana had announced that he will reach the office of Mysuru’s BJP MP Pratap Simha at Jaladarshini Guest House at noon on Thursday to provide evidence of the Congress party’s contribution, the BJP’s Yuva Morcha members sought to counter the Congress leader’s move by announcing that they will arrive at the Congress office for the debate.
Even as the Congress workers led by Mr. Lakshmana were preparing to leave the party office in a procession towards Jaladarshini, group of BJP’s Yuva Morcha workers gathered at Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa circle (also known as Metropole circle) on Jhansi Lakshmi Bai Road.
