H.D. Revanna Alleges Irregularities in Hasanamba Festival Pass Distribution
JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna has accused Hassan district officials of misusing passes and funds related to the Hasanamba festival, alleging irregular distribution favoring ruling party members. He claimed he was not properly invited and threatened to send 5,000 party workers to forcibly enter the temple if the issue is not resolved by Tuesday. The district administration, represented by Excise Minister K.M. Shivalinge Gowda, denied these allegations, stating passes were fairly distributed among legislators to prevent confusion during the festival.
