After the drubbing in the Lok Sabha elections, the Janata Dal (Secular), which is trying to revive the party fortunes and raise workers’ morale, will hold padayatra across the State in a bid to connect with the party cadre and masses.
The padayatra will commence from August 20, party supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda said on Sunday.“I will lead the padayatra. I’m building the party by organising the party cadre,” he told presspersons here. Mr. Gowda, who had retracted from his statement on the JD(S)-Congress coalition government’s stability, said: “The padayatra by JD(S) will not affect the coalition government.”
