Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed questions on Monday regarding the potential removal of a life-sized portrait of Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, which was unveiled in the Assembly chamber at 'Suvarna Vidhana Soudha' during the previous BJP government's tenure. Speculations arose after the unveiling in December 2022 drew criticism from the opposition Congress, accusing it of being a unilateral decision made without their knowledge, as reported by PTI.
