The BJP said here on Friday that the Congress leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has become irrelevant in his own party. Addressing presspersons, chief spokesperson of the State unit of the BJP Ganesh Karnik said that Mr. Siddaramaiah had been kept out of the discussions in the regional level meeting of the Congress led by in-charge of party affairs in the State Randeep Singh Surjewala in Tumakuru recently. It indicated that he has become irrelevant and there is insecurity in him. Mr. Siddaramaiah is depressed. Hence, the Leader of Opposition is making some silly statements now. Mr. Karnik said that Mr. Siddaramaiah has detached himself from the AHINDA movement as he could not achieve his “selfish politics” by being there.
Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
