Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said a decision on the celebration of Mahisha Dasara will be taken by the Mysuru district administration.
The Mahisha Dasara celebrations, scheduled for October 13, had pitted the organisers against Mysuru’s BJP MP Pratap Simha, who has given a call for Chamundi Betta Chalo on the same day to counter the celebrations.
When Mr. Siddaramaiah’s attention was drawn to the brewing confrontation between the organisers of the Mahisha Dasara and the opponents, the Chief Minister said Mahisha Dasara had been celebrated earlier also. However, he clarified that it was not the government, which is organising the Mahisha Dasara celebrations.
