While Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has called the Centre’s move as an insult towards Kannadigas, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann said that the Central government was suffering from an anti-Punjab syndrome”.
State BJP chief Sunil Jakhar had accused Mann of politicising the non-inclusion of the state s tableau for the Republic Day parade and alleged that the AAP government insisted that the tableau carried his and Arvind Kejriwal s photos and this was one of the reasons why it was excluded for the R-Day event.
