At the mass rally in Bangalore on Saturday, it was evident that the 'crowd' had been specially arranged for the rally. When Rahul commenced his speech in English, a sizeable number of people were seen leaving the venue.
The Congress leader failed to connect with the crowd, which was clearly disappointed when he started speaking in English. There were a few half hearted whistles at the beginning of the rally, when Rahul was garlanded by local Congress leaders and presented with a sword.
However, some Congress leaders said that Rahul stuck to English as Hindi is not a popular language in Karnataka.
Once again, Rahul spoke on his favourite topic - the loan waiver scheme by the United Progressive Alliance government. Rahul said that his four-day tour of rural Karnataka had been fruitful.
