Belagavi, December 20, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): Leader of opposition in the assembly Siddaramaiah said that strict action should be initiated against the MES activists who vandalized the statue of Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, and he would raise the issue in the assembly.
The former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah visited the spot at Kanakadasa Colony in Angola in Belagavi, where the incident took place and inspected. He also visited the new spot where the new statue is installed and offered his tributes.
“The MES hooligans are not scared about anyone. Stringent action should be taken against them. We should be allowed to protest against the MES. There is a demand to ban the MES. I will discuss this in the assembly. I will draw the attention of the government towards this matter. The intelligence department in this government is dead. The MES activists are not at all scared about the police, the law, and order situation in the State is not in control,” he alleged.
