Veteran politician and BJP MLC A.H. Vishwanath has suggested that the State government invite former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda to inaugurate this year’s Dasara celebrations.
Recalling that the celebrations had been inaugurated by seers, film stars, and litterateurs earlier, Mr. Vishwanath said the State government should invite Mr. Gowda.
The JD(S) patriarch has not been active in politics for the last several years, but also served as Chief Minister and is presently a Rajya Sabha member. He is a person from Karnataka who has served as Prime Minister without any “black spot”, Mr Vishwanath said.
