Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday issued a clarification regarding the circular prohibiting the use of vermillion within the state legislature premises during Vijaya Dashami festivities next week.
Taking to social media, Siddaramaiah wrote that the government order prohibiting vermillion made with chemicals and other colours during the Vijaya Dashami festival in the premises of the Vidhana Soudha, Vikasa Soudha and Multi-Stories Building housing departmental offices is not new one.
“These are heritage buildings and chemical colors can cause permanent or long-term stains on the floor. To avoid damage, we have followed the orders given by the earlier governments this year as well. I request you not to heed to the slander that is being made against the government in this regard,” the chief minister wrote on X.
Further, he also shared a 2021 circular, issued by the then BJP government in the state, prohibiting the use of chemical-laced colours, vermillion, turmeric and other materials in state legislature complex.
The order also stated that if the directions were not followed, the concerned persons will have to bear the responsibility.
