The remarks of Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president D. K. Shivakumar that Adichunchanagiri mutt seer Nirmalanandanatha swami should have questioned the BJP leaders about the propriety of bringing down the erstwhile government, led by Vokkaliga leader H. D. Kumaraswamy, has attracted the wrath of veteran BJP leader B. S. Yediyurappa.
Mr. Yediyurappa had formed the BJP government after the collapse of the JD(S)-Congress coalition government led by H. D. Kumaraswamy.
“Mr. Shivakumar himself could directly ask this question to the seer instead of telling others,” Mr. Yediyurappa told mediapersons in Bengaluru on April 11.
