Mysuru: Is there a larger conspiracy of using Veerayodha A.P. Prashanth Park at K.C. Nagar for commercial purposes by hoodwinking residents of the area? This is a question bothering residents of K.C. Nagar following the Guddali Puja for a Makkala Mantapa (children’s stage) that was performed by Krishnaraja MLA M.K. Somashekar yesterday.
The original plan was to construct a Bayalu Ranga Mantapa (open air theatre) at the Park and when the residents opposed it, the authorities changed it to Makkala Mantapa that caters only to the playing needs of the children. Interestingly, the pamphlet announcing the Guddali Puja that was distributed in the entire area states that the puja was for MCC-funded Bayalu Ranga Mantapa.
