The two processions met at Basaveshwara Circle in the town. At that moment party workers and supporters stepped up their slogan shouting by many a decibel.

While Congress workers shouted slogans in favor of AICC president Rahul Gandhi, BJP supporters raised slogans in favor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The crossover soon turned into a fracas in which the opposing party workers tugged and shoved and hurled abuses at each other. Police and paramilitary forces personnel intervened to disperse the crowd by a mild lathi charge.

Hunagunda MLA Vijayanand Kashyappanavar took part in the procession. Trouble broke out between BJP and Congress workers when his supporters carried him on their shoulders and shouted slogans.
