“When entry of visitors and devotees to temples has been barred during the lockdown, what is the reason for giving special permission to Mr Vijayendra?”

The apparent violation of lockdown rules by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa’s son B.Y. Vijayendra, who visited religious shrines in Nanjangud near here on Tuesday, has come under fire from the Congress leaders in Mysuru. A delegation of Congress leaders will be meeting Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru Rohini Sindhuri on Wednesday to lodge a formal complaint against the violation of the lockdown rules by Mr Vijayendra, the State BJP Vice President. “When entry of visitors and devotees to temples has been barred during the lockdown, what is the reason for giving special permission to Mr Vijayendra?”, questioned Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M Lakshmana.
