This is not the first time MP Renukacharya has done something so dangerous.

Back in January Renukacharya landed in a controversy by driving a KSRTC bus with more than 40 passengers on board for a distance of 50 kilometres in Shivamogga.

Following the incident in January, the manager of KSRTC Shivamogga division had issued a show-cause notice to the Honnali depot manager for allowing an unauthorised person to drive the vehicle.

Considering the incident as a serious lapse, the KSRTC divisional manager had asked the depot manager whether the person had a valid driving license.

Despite all the controversy that happened in January, the MLA has repeated the same once again.
