GUWAHATI: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the government has chosen Bhupen Hazarika and ignored Shivakumara Swami, a spiritual leader who recently passed away.
Kharge said that the government had seen Swami’s works and rather chose to award a singer and a “man who propagated their RSS ideology”-Nanaji Deshmukh.
“If you compare all of them, then Shivakumara Swami ji should have been given the award,” Kharge was quoted as saying by ANI.
