JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Sunday attacked the BJP for objecting to Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy's ongoing visit to the US, asking whether he should have sought permission for it from saffron party chief B S Yeddyurappa.
Gowda said his son had gone to the US for the groundbreaking ceremony of Vokkaliga community's Kalabhairaveshwara temple.
"He has not gone for anything else. Our community's Adichunchanagri seminary's Kalabhairaveshwara temple is there. No one from here has given money, Vokkaligas in America have gathered Rs 20 crore for it," Gowda told reporters.
