Mysuru: “Choice of food is a democratic right and vested interests in BJP are blowing an insignificant issue unnecessarily for political mileage,” said former Mayor Purushotham. He was addressing a press conference organised by Pragathipara Sanghatenegala Okkuta at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here this morning.
Referring to the eating of beef at a function in Kalamandira premises here recently, Purushotham said that it was just a symbolic protest to indicate freedom of food which has been hyped. He contended that there was no intention to hurt the sentiments of anybody and if proved, he was ready to apologise for the incident.
