State Women’s Unit President Renuka Bommasandra further elaborated on the issue, stating, “Despite securing all necessary permissions from the Education Department, some vested interests have continued to insult the statue, which was unveiled last August. Until the disgraceful covering is removed, the Anekal Ambedkar Youth Association will launch a massive protest.”
