Karnataka Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah rejects Pramoda Devi’s Jamboo Savari suggestion, says government ready to address grievances
Pointing out that the Palace Board and the palace, barring the portion allotted to the erstwhile royal family for its residence, belong to the government of Karnataka, he said the government had the authority to decide how Dasara should be conducted
Karnataka Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah has rejected a proposal by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar of the former royal family of Mysuru to relocate the Jamboo Savari to the day of Rathothsava instead of Vijayadashami. The minister stated that it would not be feasible to shift the procession to the chariot festival day, as the palace and the surrounding area, excluding the portion allocated to the royal family for their residence, remain under the government's control.
Siddaramaiah affirmed that the Karnataka government is prepared to address the royal family's grievances concerning the Dasara festivities.
