Kannada protagonist Vatal Nagaraj held a demonstration in Mysuru on Thursday demanding a full-scale Dasara procession.
He told reporters that restricting the Jamboo Savari to the precincts of the palace amounted to showing contempt for the festival, which had a historic background.
As the Dasara was a state festival, the government should constitute a high-level committee drawing members from different political parties, besides litterateurs and artistes, to oversee the celebrations. “Unfortunately, this Dasara has become a “BJP Dasara”, he said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
