According to congress India n Modi are inseparable!! Losers!!”

After the event, an audio clip of a woman went viral on social media. The audio clip that got circulated in WhatsApp claimed that Congress workers attacked the people who gathered at the event. “Dharmis gathered at the Vishnu Sahasranamam Yajna event where Pejawar seer and Chakravarthy Sulibele were present. But to disrupt this Dharmika event, Congress workers came there with their party flags, attacked and abused the people gathered there. They also shouted “Rahul Gandhi Zindabad” and campaigned not to vote for BJP but to vote for Congress. When police came to control the situation, they started pelting stones on us and abused us”, said the lady in the audio.
However, Deccan Herald reported that when contacted, Chennammanakere Achukattu police denied allegations of assault on any individual.
This is not the first time Congress workers created a ruckus and resorted to hooliganism. In Tamil Nadu, Congress party workers attacked a group of photojournalists and media persons after they took pictures of empty chairs at a political rally in Tamil Nadu.
