Diksha Panchamasali Samaj accuses KPCC president D K Shivakumar of insulting B.R. Patil during Mekedatu padayatra
Condemning Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar for his ‘objectionable behaviour’ with former Deputy Chairman of Legislative Council B.R. Patil during the Mekedatu padayatra, Sharanu Pappa, president of Diksha Panchamasali Samaj, which Mr. Patil belongs to, said that his community was deeply hurt by Mr. Shivakumar’s conduct.
Mr. Pappa accused Mr. Shivakumar of insulting Mr. Patil during the Mekedatu padayatra, which ended on March 3 in Bengaluru.
“Mr. Patil is a senior and sensible politician. He had served as the Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Council and was MLA representing Aland. He is a senior leader of the Panchamasali Diksha community. The insult to Mr. Patil has hurt not just the community in particular, but people in general. We condemn Mr. Shivakumar for his objectionable behaviour and appeal to him not to repeat such behaviour in future,” Mr. Pappa said.
About 7 km before reaching Mysuru’s Outer Ring Road junction on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, a structure resembling the silhouette of a giant tyre attracts the attention of passing-by motorists. This landmark spread across 10 acres of land in Naguvinahalli in Srirangapatna taluk, features a vintage car museum that has become the latest attraction for visitors to Mysuru.
