Kasturirangan report: People’s opinion is my opinion, says Shivakumar

Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said, “I have not come to answer anyone. I have come to know the demands and feelings of the people. The opinion of the people should be my opinion.”

He was addressing a public meeting to hear people’s opinion on the K. Kasturirangan Committee report at Hebri in Udupi district. Mr. Shivakumar said he could have taken a decision sitting at the Vidhana Soudha. “But I have come to you to know the truth and the real situation. Only when we understand the pain of people, can we take the right decision,” he said.
