Bengaluru- In the context of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bengaluru for the inauguration of the metro and other events, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had presented a silver Ganesha idol as a gift. However, a private media outlet reported that the Ganesha idol gifted to the Prime Minister was brought by another BJP MLA. In response, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar clarified on the social media platform X that the gift was purchased with his personal funds and no government money was used. He further stated that the idol was handed over to the Prime Minister after being cleared by the NSG team, refuting the media claims.

The media and social media reports claiming that the idol was brought by BJP MLA M Krishnappa are completely false and far from the truth. The idol was purchased with my personal funds, and no departmental funds were used. It was brought from my home, checked by my office staff through SPG security protocols, and then presented to the Prime Minister.”also read:Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s Call to Iranians to Oppose Their Government: Here’s the Information
