CM’s schedule goes haywire in Mangaluru on Friday

The schedule of Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar went haywire on Friday, leaving party workers and others waiting for more than two hours at the Kadri Manjunatha Temple, at the Bhagwan Mahaveer (Pumpwell) Circle, and at the Praja Soudha, the venue of the Cabinet meeting.

Preparations were in full swing at the Kadri Manjunatha temple in Mangaluru at 9 a.m., when Mr. Shivakumar was expected to arrive. Apart from Congress workers who had come in large numbers, anganwadi workers, Guarantee scheme beneficiaries, and Guarantee scheme implementation committee members were waiting for him. Temple priests in special costumes were waiting with a “Kalash” to welcome the Chief Minister.
