Bommai and bouquets don’t go together!

Setting a personal example, Bommai refused to accept a bouquet when he arrived for a meeting with senior police officers on Tuesday. “This is unnecessary expenditure. There is no need to give bouquets, garlands and shawls in the name of protocol. Henceforth, the practice should be stopped,” he said.

Subsequently, as per the CM’s instructions, Chief Secretary P Ravikumar passed an order which states that henceforth ‘Kannada books’ may be given instead of bouquets.
