Accusing Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of attempting to scuttle the BJP's rally here, party's National President Amit Shah on Thursday said he aforesaw the end of the Congress regime in the southern state. "Siddaramaiah tried to scuttle our Nava Nirman Parivarthan yatra here by sponsoring the shutdown across the state, including the city of palaces. As the shutdown flopped, about 50,000 people came to the rally," asserted Shah at the Maharani College grounds here, about 140km from Bengaluru. Unfazed by a two-hour delay in flagging off the yatra (journey) due to the shutdown and in the absence of public transport to enable the people reach the venue, Shah said the party's cadres and youth responded to the rally in a show of strength.
