A day after the Organising Committee announced Mahisha Dasara celebration on October 13 ahead of Mysuru Dasara, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha and Krishnaraja MLA T.S. Srivatsa on Friday expressed their strong opposition to the celebration and urged the State government not to allow it to happen “since it will hurt the feelings of a lot of believers”.
Both of them said the BJP is ready for a face-off on the issue if the celebration was permitted despite its opposition.
The organising committee had claimed that the State government has given its permission to hold Mahisha Dasara and said the floral offerings will be made to the statue of Mahishasura atop Chamundi Hills on October 13 at 11 a.m. A stage function of the event may be held on the foothills in view of space issues following preparations for Nada Habba.
