KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who has pledged his loyalty to the Gandhi family, singing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) anthem “Namaste Sada Vatsale Matribhume” in the Legislative Assembly seems to be an attempt to send a subtle political message to both his own party as well the Opposition.
The next day after singing the anthem, the leader, widely known as a troubleshooter in the State Congress, affirmed his undying loyalty to the party. He declared that he was “born a Congressman and would die as a Congressman.”
