Bantwal, Mar 17, 2014 : Senior Congress leader B Janardhana Poojari who is now the DK Congress candidate, had made much news when he had hugged senior RSS leader Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat during the Dasara festivities at Kudroli Temple last year.

In a latest incident, the two leaders met again, this time in the backdrop of the Lok Sabha elections. The arch rivals however did not hug each other, but exchanged greetings and said “Namaskara.” Though Poojari was all smiles, Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat was not seen as smiling as Poojari. It may be recalled here that Poojari had launched a scathing attack on Kalladka Bhat for making provocative speeches recently.
The occasion was the mass marriage ceremony organised by Swastik Friends Club of Punjalakatte on March 16, Sunday. A total of 13 couples tied the knot on the occasion.
