Gadkari’s Invitation Snubbed? Karnataka CM Skips Shivamogga Event Despite 2 Letters

A controversy has erupted surrounding the inauguration of a project in Shivamogga, Karnataka. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was notably absent from the event, claiming he hadn’t been consulted about it. However, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s office has revealed that two letters were sent to the CM, inviting him to participate, either in person or virtually.

Did a Miscommunication Lead to Siddaramaiah’s Absence?

The conflicting accounts raise questions about the communication between the state and central government. While Siddaramaiah maintains he wasn’t informed about the event’s details, Gadkari’s letters suggest otherwise. This apparent miscommunication has sparked a debate about the coordination between the two administrations.

Gadkari’s Letters Urged CM’s Participation

Sources reveal that Gadkari’s letters emphasized the importance of Siddaramaiah’s presence at the Shivamogga event. The letters reportedly offered the CM the flexibility to join either physically or through a video conference, highlighting the significance of his involvement.
