People were stranded for hours, and many missed out on their flights. That evening, I had to head to Total Mall on Hosur Road for a farewell treat, and I was thanking my lucky stars that I lived so far away from Palace Grounds, though I rue the day when someone decides to have a similar meeting in South Bangalore.
Initially, when the RJ on Radio Indigo annouced that people should avoid Mekhri circle to get to the airport, and instead go on the outer ring road, I thought it was random exaggeration until I realized later on that it was due to the stupid rally held by HDD and HDK.
Details of the chaos and mayhem caused by this meeting can be seen in the following links Times of India and Deccan Herald.
When you see how the father-son duo seem to be unapolegetic of their actions, and how they seem to justify their actions with hollow words, one can’t help but be consumed by rage. To make matters worse, they’re doing a volte-face to blame the BJP government as well as the police for their inability to address the needs of the citizens of Bangalore in the light of such a massive event.
I hope they burn in hell. I’m ok with it even if they just burn. Period.
Amen to that.
@slckrqn,
Hope you weren’t stuck, though!
@Hari,
I thought I was being extremely brilliant by leaving the office at some 9.45 p.m. I mean, no silly rally crowd was going to last quite that long,right?
Wrong!
