In the midst of a row over the removal of a saffron flag with an image of Lord Hanuman, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on January 30 said “descendants” of Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathuram Godse are disturbing peace in the State.
As Mandya witnessed a massive demonstration by the BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) to protest the removal of the saffron flag flying from the 108-feet flagstaff at Keragodu village in Mandya district on January 29, Siddaramaiah said the agitation by the opposition was aimed at gaining political mileage.
