Ahead of the first day of the Winter Session in the Karnataka Assembly, VD Savarkar’s portrait was unveiled in the Assembly Hall which led the Congress to stage protests. Leader of Opposition (LoP) Siddaramaiah also wrote to the Speaker about the issue.
LoP and former CM Siddaramaiah and other Congress MLAs staged a protest. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah also wrote to the Speaker to install portraits of personalities like Valmiki, Basavanna, Kanaka Dasa, BR Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and many others.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President DK Shivakumar alleged that the ruling BJP wants the Assembly proceedings to not take place as the government doesn’t have any development agenda.
“They want that our Assembly proceedings should not take place. They want it disrupted. They have brought this photo because we are going to raise a lot of corruption issues against them.
They don’t have any development agenda,” Karnataka Congress chief and MLA DK Shivakumar said as quoted by news agency ANI.
