Deputy chief minister G Parameshwara was in the eye of a storm as he allegedly instructed his officials to issue a notice to a shopkeeper who had hoisted a BJP flag at his shop in Tovinakere, Koratagere Taluk, Tumakuru.
It is said the deputy chief minister was present in the area to attend a meet when he passed by a grocery shop owned by KV Ravi.
After Ravi got the notice from officials, he was shocked. The report stated that permission had to be sought from the gram panchayat, which had not been done.
