Bengaluru: Following stiff resistance from the pro-Hindu organisations and a section of BJP leaders, the Kanakapura taluk administration stopped the works of Yesu Krista statue at Kapali Betta in Harobele near Kanakapura town, which is the home turf of Congress leader DK Shivakumar.
According to the sources, the police blocked the Kapali Betta entrance due to which the works of the statue also stopped. Locals informed that the labourers who were engaged in the work went out of the village.
It can be recalled that on Monday night the state government transferred local tahsildar Anandaiah who was considered close to DK Shivakumar family. The opposition has been alleging that the Congress MLA is doing all this to appease Christian and Sonia Gandhi.
