Speaking to reporters before participating in the drive for free travel scheme 'Shakti' for women in government buses at Vidhansouda on Sunday, DCM Shivakumar said, "We are in the land of Basavanna. What we Say, is what we do, that is the strength of Congress. Criticisms die, works live on. He said that by criticizing the opposition parties, they will work.
