The padayatra began on August 3 from Kengeri near Bengaluru city.

At his address, Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Steel and State president of JDS HD Kumaraswamy asked the State Government to mend their ways in coming days or else the Congress ruled State Government would be removed from power at the earliest. He has stated owing to the attitude of the State Government Toyota unit in Bidadi is shifting to Maharashtra.

Kumaraswamy stated the JDS-BJP would dislodge the State Government not out of “jealous” but to protect the resources of the State from being allegedly “looted” by Congress leaders. I have suggested to the State Government to initiate talks with DMK government of Tamil Nadu over the proposed balancing reservoir across River Cauvery in Kanakapura and later he and Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Prahalad Joshi would take it up with the Union Government for clearance.

Questioning the contributions of Congress ruled State Government in Karnataka in the last 15 months of its rule, Kumaraswamy said “I can reveal hundreds of pages on illegalities and it will take hours and asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to speak on part 1 and part 2 of the Kempanna Commission report on Arkavathy layout in Bengaluru city.
