Mysuru, Mar 16: Mysuru limped back to normality on Tuesday, a day after violence gripped the city during the bandh called by the Bharatiya Janata Party to protest the murder of its party activist Raju.

Hundreds of police personnel, including the Rapid Action Force (RAF), on Tuesday took out a flag march in trouble-hit Kyatamaranahalli and surrounding areas under Udayagiri police limits here.

DCP (law and order)?H?T?Shekar, who led the march along with SP?Abhinav Khare, told media that two companies of RAF from Coimbatore in?Tamil Nadu had arrived in the city to boost people's morale in the tense areas.

A flag march was taken out from D?Banumaiah Polytechnic College and culminated at the same spot, after passing through Basappaji Circle, Rajapatha Circle, Syed Abdul Rahman Road, Azeez Sait double road (Mahadevapura main road), Sultan Road, Usmania Masjid junction, Harischandra Ghat road, Kyatamaranahalli, disputed Alim Sadhiya Mosque junction, PF office road and Azeez Sait double road.

Apart from 240 RAF personnel that included women with self-loading rifles (SLRs), five battalions of district armed reserve (DAR) police personnel, three belonging to Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP)?force, mounted police and 150 other police personnel took part in the march. Vajra, an armoured vehicle of RAF, accompanied the marching contingents. Even two days after the BJP worker's murder, an eerie calm prevailed in Kyatamaranahalli and surrounding areas. Barring MG?Road near Lal Bahadur Shastry Circle, where normalcy returned, a majority of shops remained shut and houses were found bolted from inside on Kyatamaranahalli main road.

Though some shopkeepers resumed business at Tent Circle in Kyatamaranahalli, anxiety was writ large on their faces.

Except a few local people, police dotted the roads, with prohibitory orders under Section 144?CrPC extended till March 16 midnight.

All these things are happening in our great secular country only for political gains, Just image if no communal agenda/ no communal clashes/ no innocent people killing in the name of religion then do you think 80 % these elected MPs and MLAs will get elected either for Lokha sabha or in state politics??? these 80% elected with communal agenda never deserve even for office attender post!! Only God can save this country from these criminals.

Bengaluru, Mar 11: Amid the prevailing political uncertainty in Madhya Pradesh with Jyotiraditya Scindia's exit, Congress leader DK Shivakumar on Wednesday asserted that "leaders may come and go but no one can destroy Congress."

"No one can destroy Congress. Leaders may come, leaders may go, that doesn't make any difference," said Shivakumar while speaking to news agency on the current political scenario for Congress in Madhya Pradesh.

Speaking about the Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs, who are lodged in Bengaluru, he said: "All the Madhya Pradesh MLAs who are here do not want to lose their membership. I am sure they will understand, go back and save the government."

On Tuesday, Congress sent two of its leaders -- Sajjan Singh Verma and Govind Singh -- to Bengaluru in order to pacify some of the rebel MLAs who are lodged in a hotel there and who claimed to have resigned from the state Legislative Assembly.

After meeting with 19 party MLAs who have tendered their resignations, Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma on Wednesday said they are neither willing to support Jyotiraditya Scindia nor in favour of joining BJP as they were "misled and taken to Bengaluru" in Karnataka.

"Nobody is ready to go with Scindia ji. They said they were misled and taken to Bengaluru, most of them said they are not ready to join BJP," Verma told ANI on being asked about the 19 MLAs.

"I just came from Bengaluru and now I am going to Jaipur. Besides 5-6 ministers and one MLA, we all are going to Jaipur. They (MLAs) have said they have the blood of Congress and they will remain in the party. Since Scindia was a senior party leader, all our MLAs followed his order as a courtesy," he said.

The Congress leader further claimed that BJP is using both "muscle and money power" to influence Congress MLAs.

He also claimed that he is strongly in contact with 7-8 BJP MLAs.

Most of the rebel MLAs are perceived close to Scindia and are apparently unhappy at Scindia being "ignored" in the party. The grand old party has been witnessing an internal turf war in Madhya Pradesh since the party formed the government in the state in 2018.

Scindia is likely to join BJP later today.
