ಮೈಸೂರು/ನಂಜನಗೂಡು: ನಂಜನಗೂಡು ಶಾಸಕ ಬಿ. ಹರ್ಷವರ್ಧನ್ ಅವರು ಬುಧವಾರ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಬಸವರಾಜ ಬೊಮ್ಮಾಯಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಡಾ. ಬಿ.ಆರ್. ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಅವಮಾನಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಗೌರವ ತೋರುವ ಯಾವುದೇ ಘಟನೆಗಳು ಮರುಕಳಿಸದಂತೆ ಕ್ರಮಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡಿದರು.

ವಿಧಾನ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಪ್ರಚಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯವರು ಮೈಸೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಾಸಕರು ಮೈಸೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಮನವಿ ಪತ್ರವನ್ನೂ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದರು.
