Kundapur: CM Siddaramaiah, during his visit to the district inaugurated several developmental projects here.

During the Sadhana Samavesha at Byndoor on Monday, lunch was provided from Kollur Mookambika Temple. 

Opposition parties questioned with regards to this.

Questions were raised on how can the people who stopped the temple from giving food to a school at Kalladka consume food provided by the temple at ‘Sadhana Samavesha’.

They feel if providing food to a private school from the temple was wrong, then diverting food for the programme was also wrong.

Pictures of food being carried from the temple premises to the venue went viral over social media.

However, the temple chief clarified saying there is nothing wrong in providing food to a Government programme and the Tahasildar had written a letter seeking food arrangement from the temple and a favourable decision thereof was taken at the meeting of the managing committee.

The president of temple management committee donated one lakh rupees on January 6 towards food to ensure that the temple does not suffer loss on this account,” they said.
