Mayawati, Mamata abandon cars, beat Bengaluru traffic

Bengaluru’s infamous traffic jams literally halted Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati in her tracks, but the former Uttar Pradesh CM hit the road with gusto and walked for nearly half a kilometre to make it in time for H D Kumaraswamy’s swearing-in ceremony in front of Vidhana Soudha late Wednesday afternoon. The convoy of Mayawati, who was on her way to Vidhana Soudha from Shangri La on Palace Road, had to stop after it ran into a huge traffic jam at Chalukya Hotel, Basaveshwara Circle, said traffic police.
As police and her security personnel were wondering what to do, Mayawati promptly hit the D Devaraj Urs Road and she briskly walked up till Vidhana Soudha.


Mamata Banerjee too walked for a couple of hundred metres after her convoy had to stop on Devaraj Urs Road.
