The 10-day winter session beginning Monday in Belagavi appears set for an ideological tussle with Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar’s portrait reportedly set to be unveiled in the Legislative Assembly at Suvarna Vidhan Soudha.
While no official announcement has been made in this regard, seven portraits of prominent personalities including Savarkar are reportedly ready to be unveiled in the assembly hall this session.
The portrait issue may have overtaken many other controversial issues that were expected to generate heated debate. In fact, it is being seen as a strategic counter-attack on the opposition by the ruling BJP, which was preparing to bring the government to the mat during the session, which is a few months before the assembly elections.
