Health minister B Sriramulu was at the receiving end of flak several weeks ago after his rally at Chitradurga attracted thousands of people. Now his associate in Gadag has allegedly thrown a party, defying restrictions on gathering and the protocol of wearing masks

 

The associate is identified as Shivangoud SH and had invited over 200 people at Srinivas Bhavan Hall for an overnight party. Residents in Gadag believe that no action will be initiated against him and that the whole event will be buried under the carpet.
