Mandya Congress Workers Throw Eggs At Party's District President Car In Karnataka

On Monday, Gangadhar went to KR Pet assembly constituency to discuss the poll preparation with party workers.  However, the workers tried to force him to name the Congress candidate for the seat.

Congress party workers attacked the district president C D Gangadhar's car with eggs for not announcing the name of the candidate for the forthcoming state Assembly elections in Karnataka's Mandya. A video of eggs being thrown at the car has gone viral on social.

On Monday, Gangadhar went to KR Pet assembly constituency to discuss the poll preparation with party workers.  However, the workers tried to force him to name the Congress candidate for the seat.  During the conversation, they raised slogans and shouted at him to reveal the name of the candidate but Gangadhar maintained a stoic silence and kept smiling.

The Congress Mandya district president went past them and managed to sit inside his car. Moments later, the party workers smashed many eggs on the windshield of his SUV and other cars in the convoy.

There is talk of Karnataka Minister K C Narayana Gowda joining Congress in Mandya political circles. He is also expected to fight the election on the opposition party ticket.

The Congress workers have maintained that only a staunch party loyalist should get a ticket this time and nobody else. Assembly polls are due by May.
