It was the battle of Tirangas in Bengaluru, Karnataka where over one lakh congress supporters converged at Sangolli Rayana Circle for the freedom march. Leading the massive Freedom March was state congress chief DK Shivakumar, Congress leader Priyank Kharge, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Rajya MP and General Secretary of Congress. Congress leaders speaking exclusively to NDTV said the intent of the march was to educate and spread awareness of those congress leaders who took part in the freedom struggle and said the march was not to counter BJP's campaign Har Ghar Tiranga.
