Mysuru: The Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA), which confronted backlash from pro-Kannada organisations for eradicating identify boards honouring distinguished personalities from the State, together with famend litterateurs, has now put in new identify boards for dignitaries on the Dasara Exhibition Grounds.
Following the sharp criticism concerning the elimination of those boards, KEA Chairman Ayub Khan promised to exchange them with newly designed boards that mirror a heritage look earlier than the opening of the Dasara exhibition on Thursday (Oct. 3) night. Accordingly, high-quality boards have been put in.
Ayub Khan said, “As a former Mayor of Mysuru, I’ve immense respect for our land and language. The high-quality identify boards in a heritage fashion had been being ready when the controversy erupted.”
A number of improvement tasks have been undertaken on the Dasara expo. Nevertheless, the way in which BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra raised this explicit difficulty signifies his aversion to having somebody from a minority neighborhood function the KEA chairman.
Amid the uproar over the elimination of the boards, Vijayendra took to his ‘X’ account to liken the scenario to the “reign of Mohammad Ghazni’s tradition.”
