Taking the love and respect for Savarkar a few steps ahead, the BJP-led government in Karnataka reportedly put a big portrait of him at the state assembly. Thai created a big controversy and Congress leaders walked out of the house.
Former Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah who is currently serving as the Leader of the Opposition raised severe objections and asked what made the government put up the portrait of Savarkar inside the Assembly.
The opposition delegation led by Siddaramaiah held a protest by holding pictures of Jawaharlal Nehru and walking out of the house. Before walking out, the opposition leaders sat on the steps of the house to show their dissatisfaction with this.
The Congress leaders are alleging that the BJP on purpose did that to skip the questions on issues like corruption and others. They say that the ruling party knows the Congress hates Savarkar and the portrait will make them stage a protest and the saffron party wants the same.
