RCB anthem riles local fans
The Hindu
The song contains only a smattering of Kannada while the majority of the lyrics is in Hindi
For the second consecutive season, IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced the ire of Kannadigas upon the release of their team anthem. Fans were upset that the song contains only a smattering of Kannada while the majority of the lyrics is in Hindi. The video is identical to the one used last year, save for a few scenes which feature new players. The Bengaluru franchise had received similar criticism last year as well.
On December 23, the newly elected office bearers of the Anna Nagar Towers Club, led by its president ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, who is a former MLA, met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and conveyed their greetings. According to a press release, besides, ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, the Anna Nagar Towers Club delegation that met Stalin at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK Party headquarters, included vice-president R. Sivakumar, secretary R. Muralibabu, joint secretary D.
