The Times of India reports that Shivakumar stopped speaking several times and eventually sat down after appeals for order failed. He told the crowd that the government could not intervene in Darshan’s case because it was pending before the court. The incident occurred during the Sri Chamundeshwari Devi Karaga Mahotsava, around 50km from Bengaluru. Ramanagara MLA Iqbal Hussain also appealed for decorum. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: D K Shivakumar, Darshan, Kannada cinema, Karnataka, Ramanagara Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/darshan-fans-disrupt-karnataka-cms-address-with-d-boss-chants/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
