Mysuru Rangayana director Addanda C. Cariappa terming all those who protested against the guest list of the now-postponed Bahuroopi theatre festival as “Maoists” has drawn the ire of Kannada theatre activists.
Several theatre activists from Mysuru had taken objection to Chakravarty Sulibele, a Hindutva ideologue, being invited for the closing ceremony of the festival. In an interview given to ‘Samvaada’, a media house associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mr. Cariappa called himself an “RSS worker” and said Rangayana was captured by “Maoists” till now and that they were protesting against him.
