Mandya: The Civic Honour for Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy (HDK), scheduled at Visvesvaraya stadium in the town tomorrow (June 16) stands cancelled, due to unavoidable circumstances.
Former Minister C.S. Puttaraju told media persons here yesterday that the programme to honour Kumaraswamy had been organised as the former CM had won the LS elections from Mandya Constituency, and was also inducted into the Union Cabinet of Prime Minister Modi. “We also wanted former CM B.S. Yediyurappa to attend the event. However, with Yediyurappa facing a legal hurdle in a POCSO case registered against him in Bengaluru, we have decided to postpone the civic honour event for now,” he said.
