BELAGAVI/ BENGALURU: BJP MLC Sashil Namoshi on Tuesday accused Vidhana Soudha authorities of displaying a “fake” painting of social reformer Sri Basavanna in the Anubhava Mantapa on Tuesday morning during Zero Hour.

The controversial painting was hurriedly executed by a team including Satish Rao of Chitrakala Parishath, Srikanth Hegde, Ashok U, Veeresh and Mahesh, in just two weeks despite the usual three-month timeline for such projects.
