BENGALURU: 

Amid tight security in the face of protests by pro-Kannada groups, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday inaugurated the new Yelahanka flyover which has been named after Veer Savarkar. 

Among those present at the venue were ministers Dr CN Ashwath Narayan, Basavaraj Bommai, CT Ravi and Byrathi Basavaraj, CM’s political secretary, MLA SR Vishwanath. 

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಯಲಹಂಕ ಉಪನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೃಹತ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮಹಾನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ (ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ) ವತಿಯಿಂದ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿರುವ “ವೀರ್ ಸಾವರ್ಕರ್ ಮೇಲು ಸೇತುವೆ”ಯನ್ನು ಇಂದು ಉದ್ಘಾಟಿಸಿ, ಲೋಕಾರ್ಪಣೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಯಿತು. ಉಪಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು, ಸಚಿವರುಗಳು, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಈ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತರಿದ್ದರು. pic.twitter.com/8aIJ5vEd9W

Several pro-Kannada activists were taken into custody earlier in the day, including JDS youth wing president Praveen Kumar and Karnataka Ranadheera Force president Harish Kumar.  Pro-Kannada organizations have opposed the naming of the flyover after Savarkar as he is ‘not a Kannadiga’. 

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು @YouthwingJDS ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಪ್ರವೀಣ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆಯ ಭಯದಿಂದ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಬಂಧಿಸಿದ್ದು, ಯಲಹಂಕ ಮೇಲ್ಸೇತುವೆಗೆ ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಸಾವರ್ಕರ್ ಹೆಸರಿಡುವುದನ್ನು ವಿರೋಧಿಸಿ ಶಾಂತಿಯುತ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ ನಡೆಸಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡದ ಸರ್ವಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ಧೋರಣೆಯಿಂದ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಇದು ಜನವಿರೋಧಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಭಂಡ ನಡೆ.

Karnataka Rashtra Samiti president Ravi Krishna Reddy tweeted that despite opposition from the people of Karnataka to the choice of name for the flyover, the government had ignored local sentiments.  

ಯಲಹಂಕದ ಮೇಲ್ಸೇತುವೆಗೆ ಹೆಸರಿಡುವ ವಿಚಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನತೆಯಿಂದ ಗಂಭೀರವಾದ, ಸಕಾರಣವಾದ ವಿರೋಧ ಇದ್ದರೂ @CMofKarnataka @BSYBJP ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಆ ಜನಾಭಿಪ್ರಾಯವನ್ನು ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಿ ಮುಂದುವರೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಅಕ್ಷಮ್ಯ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಭಾವನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೆಲೆ ನೀಡದ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ನಡೆಯನ್ನು @krs_party ಖಂಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
ಹೇರಿಕೆ ಸಲ್ಲದು. ಒಪ್ಪಿತ ಹೆಸರು ಇಡಿ.
