Party time of a different kind for Rahul & co. in Davangere
Davangere: Congress president Rahul Gandhi savoured the city’s trademark Bennedose at the Viji Bennedose Hotel in PJ Layout, much to the joy of Vijay, the owner of the hotel. He also ordered coffee from the neighbouring Paddu Coffee Bar.
Chief Minister Sidddaramaiah, KPCC president G Parameshwara, K C Venugopal, Congress general secretary in-charge of the party affairs in Karnataka, senior party leader Mallikarjuna Kharge, Power Minister D K Shivakumar and district in-charge Minister S S Mallikarjun accompanied their party chief in tasting the special dosa variety.
Vijay brimmed with joy when Rahul told him ‘bahut accha hai’ (it was very nice). But he is a bit sad that he could not have a few more words with the Congress leader as he was busy serving the special guests, who arrived unexpectedly at his eatery.
The hotel staff and those in the crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of him later clicked selfies with him. Police had a tough time handling a large number of youths gathered there.
