Whether I go to the Kumbh Mela or not is matter of personal belief: Karnataka Dy CM Shivakumar

Hitting back at comments regarding his plans to visit the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said that no one has the right to question his personal beliefs and devotion.

Shivakumar was responding to remarks by Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, R Ashoka, who commented on reports about his plans to visit the Kumbh Mela while attempting to link it to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent statement.

Kharge had questioned whether poverty could be eradicated by taking a dip in the Ganga, alleging that BJP leaders were competing to take dips for the cameras.

"He (Ashoka), the Opposition Leader, thinks he will gain respect in his party by making comments against me. Let anyone say whatever they want—it is a matter of our dharma and karma, our practices, traditions, and beliefs," Shivakumar said.
