Noted writer Devanur Mahadeva has emphasised the need for evaluating the country’s parliamentarians before the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking at a seminar on “Karnataka after 90s” organised by Shravana Samskrutika Trust and Bayalu Balaga in Mysuru on Sunday, Mr. Mahadeva referred to the practice among tribals of Chattisgarh to carry out a trial of their deities for resolving their problems. If the tribal deities fail them, “the tribals will install another idol of god made out of wood”, he said.
While tribals of Chattisgarh take their deities to trial, it is unfortunate that people do not evaluate the parliamentarians, Mr. Mahadeva rued.
