Amid an alarming Covid-19 surge, Karnataka Congress on Thursday (January 13) temporarily suspended its Mekedatu padayatra.
Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Siddaramaiah asserted the decision was not taken in the wake of the ruling BJP government in the state registering cases against Congress leaders or banning the yatra but due to Covid-19 concerns and in the interest of public health.
