Chitradurga: Although untouchability, an age-old practice, was legally abolished by the government of India, a senior BJP leader and MP from Chitradurga was denied entry into a Gollarahatti (settlement of Golla community) of Pemmanahalli in Pavagada taluk of Tumakuru district on Monday, September 16.
The incident took place on Monday in Pavagada taluk of Tumkur district when Narayanaswamy was visiting the area along with a group of doctors and officials of a pharma company.
Narayanaswamy was told that no person belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC) has ever entered Gollarahatti (a place where Golla community live). Even though the cops and the taluk administration were on the spot, the Chitradurga MP was denied entry into Gollarahatti.
However, after some time, a few locals requested him to enter the village but the MP refused, saying he does not want them to quarrel among themselves once he leaves.
