Urdu Poetry Concert on Dasara: Congress is imposing Urdu on Kannada for vote bank approval

Kannada Department of Culture has announced the Urdu poetry concert in the program list of Nadhabba Dasara which has caused a lot of confusion and outrage. Former minister and BJP leader Sunil Kumar Karkala has expressed outrage over this and said that Congress is imposing Urdu on Kannada to please its vote bank.

The state government has organized an Urdu poetry conference on Nadhabba Dasara. Why the imposition of Urdu in Dussehra, which was supposed to be a platform for the display of Kannada's rich culture? Congress is imposing Urdu on Kannada to please its vote bank.

CM Siddaramaiah has taken another step towards realizing Tipu's real dream. Mahisha Dussehra, along with the Urdu poetry gathering, do you agree to cultural violence? Nadadevi Chamundi and Mysore Wodeyar should be glorified in Dussehra without Tippu culture.

Department of Kannada and Culture seems to have forgotten sensitivity and responsibility in this matter. How can those who are going to celebrate Karnataka celebrations throughout the year celebrate Urdu celebrations during Dussehra?" said former minister Sunil Kumar Karkala by posting on X.
