Freedom fighter Veer Savarkar is back in the news and has, once again, resulted in a political row between the ruling BJP and the Opposition Congress.
The BS Yediyurappa administration is all set to unveil a new flyover at Yelahanka in Bengaluru that will be named after Veer Savarkar.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the city’s civic body, seems to have passed a resolution on naming the flyover after Veer Savarkar. The flyover, which has been constructed under the Nagarotthana scheme, will be inaugurated by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday.
“The decision to name the Yelahanka flyover after VD Savarkar is an insult to freedom fighters of this land,” Leader of the Opposition, Siddaramaiah said and asked Yediyurappa to name the flyover after a freedom fighter hailing from Karnataka.
