Poet Subraya Chokkadi has expressed disappointment over the recent display of portraits of Nathuram Godse and V.D. Savarkar at public programmes in Shivamogga.
He spoke after inaugurating a three-day cultural festival organised in memory of socialist Ha.Manjunath Bhat in Tumari on Friday.
“Shivamogga is the land of politician and legislator Shantaveri Gopala Gowda, who was instrumental in farmers’ struggle of the 1950s. He influenced many minds towards socialism. Now, it is highly disturbing that the people here have begun to adore Nathuram Godse and V.D. Savarkar in place of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru”, he said.
