Former Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy Shifts Venue for Son’s Wedding tomorrow To Green Zone Ramanagara from Red Zone in Bangaluru

The whole country maybe in lockdown mode but that has not dampened the spirits of the former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy who has decided to go ahead with the wedding of his son Nikhil Gowda’s at a farmhouse near Bidadi in Ramanagara district, backyard of the family of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda.

The ex CM is the younger son of the Ex PM.  And wedding will take place on Friday April 17.

According to reports, the Janata Dal-Secular leader announced he was shifting the wedding to Ramanagaram since Bangalore was declared a ‘Red Zone’ while Ramanagara falls under ‘Green Zone’. Reports also have it that Kumaraswamy has taken the permission of the state government of BJP YS Yedyurappa and given undertaking that all rules, including wearing masks, sanitisers and maintaining social distancing will be followed in the family event.

Though bitter poliiciaol foes, the two CMs share a warm personal rapport.

“Ramanagara district is Green Zone and  so I had decided to get the marriage done in Ramanagara itself. The coronavirus pandemic is a concern in some districts. But I pray that in this district none of these issues should arise. Even with this family function, we should not have any issues,” said the former CM. He added that he had consulted several doctors in his family to evaluate the threat from the coronavirus before going ahead with his son’s wedding.

“In our family itself, we have 12-13 doctors whom we consulted and decided. I urge party workers, villagers and well-wishers not to come to the venue, and to bless the couple from their home. In the future, we will hold a reception and invite everyone,” the former Karnataka CM said.

Cutting across party lines, Karnataka’s politicians have a habit of cocking a snook at rules when it comes to letting their hair down. Less than a fortnight ago, a BJP MLA got into a controversy when he celebrated his birthday at a lavish party where more than a 1000 people were served a multi course meal. And last week, a congress politico was video graphed at a public swimming pool with his grandchildren when lockdown rules ban any such activity.
