Mangalore, Oct 12, 2013 : The visit of senior RSS leader Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat to Sri Gokarnanatha Temple, Kudroli on October 11, Friday to take part in the inaugural of the newly built Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, is hitting headlines.
There is every reason for it. RSS leader Kalladka Bhat and senior Congress leader B Janardhan Poojari who have often locked horns over various political issues in the past were seen rubbing shoulders at the function.
Beyond doubt it was Poojari who had invited Kalladka Bhat for the function and the two leaders were seen all smiles that made much news.
Dr Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat went around the Temple with some BJP leaders accompanying him. He sang praises about the Temple which he said had a magnetic charm that attracted devotees. He also did not forget to refer to some of the revolutionary steps taken in Kudroli Temple and added change is the law of nature and every religion has to accept it. Such measures enhance the status of women, he added.
The Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir was inaugurated by Pushpavathi Karandur, mother-in-law of former union minister B Janardhan Poojari. BJP leader Srikar Prabhu, Harikrishna Bantwal, Malathi Janardhan Poojari and several others were present.
