Mysuru/Bengaluru: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the 108-feet tall statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda in Bengaluru yesterday, the Opposition, particularly JD(S) and current BJP MLC A.H. Vishwanath accused the State Government of turning the unveiling of a statue of the 16th-century founder of Bengaluru, Kempegowda, into a party event.
In a series of messages on social media, the JD(S) criticised the BJP for not inviting former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda to the event despite the Party President’s contributions to the city. At a press conference in Mysuru, Vishwanath said that it was a Government event which turned into a party event and the developments were unfortunate.
