In a shocking incident at Bengaluru, Congress supporters attacked the techies present at the Manyata Tech Park after they chanted Pro-Modi slogans when Congress President Rahul Gandhi arrived at the spot. Shockingly, the Karnataka Police aided Congress workers by lathi-charging the techies for chanting pro-Modi slogans.

According to the reports, Congress President Rahul Gandhi had visited Manyata Tech Park, Bengaluru to interact with young entrepreneurs. However, many techies and the entrepreneurs present at the spot began to chant ‘Modi-Modi’, which led to huge embarrassment to Congress President Gandhi and his party workers.
