Quotes
Dr Ravinutala Shashidhar
General secretary of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsava Samiti
“We urge mandap organisers not to play songs affiliated with political parties during the immersion procession. We also appeal to political leaders not to instigate organisers to play such songs. This will do more harm to their leaders, as the Ganesh festival is meant to praise Lord Ganesh.”
