Yes, in 1950′s jodettu was the cong symbol. Now it has been reduced to a single one. Then agriculture and farmers were their prime targets. Now they have converted everybody into cattle and since they can always make them carry their load though masked it conveys best the intentions of the Congress party. People of Chikkamagalur are fit be driven by these people, with no malafide intentions.
