It has been ordered for the Puttenahalli police in Bengaluru South to forbid people from viewing the rally from their balconies and terraces. The limits have been termed “draconian” in a letter to police that has gone viral on social media. Additionally, it instructs the police to block off building entrances and exits to stop unauthorised individuals from entering the property.

It appears that PM Modi’s road show in Bengaluru today not only inconvenienced the people but it drew a lukewarm response. Tomorrow's tamasha reduced to 6.5 kms now.
Writing on the wall is very, very clear. Come May 10th, 40% Bhrashtasura Dahana is Guaranteed!

Innocent Bhakts!
They have been made to believe that it is the love of people of Bengaluru, which is raining from the skies in the form of flowers on VishwaGuru.
Little do they know that it is all party machinery & high-tech special effects.
God, bestow your mercy on Bhakts.

Just a reminder, Karnataka High Court didn't allow Queer people in Bengaluru to conduct a small march on a Sunday citing it will cause traffic. Same court is now allowing PM Modi to conduct 40km road show with 35 roads closed down. The unfair world we live in. #BJPFailsKarnataka pic.twitter.com/JsFsP6JkkX
