Timarody has expressed his anguish after the departure of MLA from the scene.

A programme of cleaning Belthangady government hospital premises by Raja Kesari organization of Timarody supporters was held. National Hindu Jagarane Vedike founder president Mahesh Shetty Timarody was invited for it from the organization. Timarody had reached the venue at 9.30 am but hospital officials were not present. Timarody who got annoyed against the doctors who were not punctual was expressing his dissatisfaction. Meanwhile he heard that MLA Harish Poonja also is expected for the programme. Timarody was all the more annoyed against the organizers and shouted against them.

MLA Harish Poonja arrived for the programme within next few minutes. Though MLA Harish Poonja and Timarody came face to face they did not speak to each other and set the cleanliness programme in motion. But people there were afraid whether the rivalry between two groups may culminate into fight. MLA Harish Poonja gave a speech after the programme, met hospital doctors and staff, inquired about the welfare of the organizers and went back.

Mahesh Shetty Timarody continued his tirade against doctors and organizers even after the MLA went back. He asked who invited MLA and warned not to invite him for the programme where the MLA is invited. “I am waiting for suitable platform to answer the MLA. I am not the one who will spare anybody,” he said. Raja Kesari organization came forward to clean the premises and he became calm later.
