Organised by the NaMo brigade, the motorcycle rally, as part of the campaign, was flagged off by Simha at the Palace fort, under the Krishnaraja Assembly constituency. He had also addressed the NaMo brigade volunteers and party workers, launching his campaign. The large number of rally participants was wearing tee-shirts, caps and masks carrying the photo of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Modi in the rally.
