Former Minister and MLC A.H. Vishwanath on Tuesday expressed dissatisfaction over the conduct of Dasara festival this year.
Speaking to reporters here, he regretted the absence of people’s representatives in the Dasara Sub-Committees and alleged that the officials were running a “durbar” by dictating terms in the conduct of the festival.
The MLC cited his own example and said though he had been nominated to the Legislative Council from the field of literature, his inputs were not sought for planning Dasara’s poets’ conference or literature conference.
