Former Lok Sabha member Ayanur Manjunath, who recently joined the Congress, has said BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa was unhappy as the violence that erupted during the Id Milad procession in Shivamogga did not continue for long.
In a press conference in Shivamogga on Saturday, Mr. Manjunath said, “It seems Eshwarappa is unhappy as peace was restored immediately in Shivamogga. Hence, he has been making provocative speeches to disturb peace and order in the city.”
“It was uncalled for a politician with over 40 years of experience to make statements that were provocative in nature,” he added. “Eshwarappa worked as Minister for Water Resources. But he hardly spoke about the Cauvery issue,” Manjunath commented.
