Bengaluru: State BJP president and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa’s government employee nephew has created a controversy by participating and being felicitated at a party event.
Aravind, an assistant director rank officer in the state government, attended a BJP event in Mandya two days ago, leading to a controversy over how a serving employee can participate in a political event. He was seen donning a shawl with the BJP lotus symbol, participating in a taluk-level event of the party. He is currently working with the Karnataka Milk Federation and the government is considering disciplinary action against him in the coming days.
Reacting to this H S Mahadev Prasad, Cooperation Minister said, “Whatever it is, being a government employee he cannot participate in a political function. We will issue a memo, wait for his reply and take action”.
Yeddyurappa, meanwhile, said he was not aware any such incident.
