Bengaluru, Feb 11: Leader of the opposition in Karnataka assembly, Siddaramaiah, has decided to get naturopathy treatment at Shanthivana, Ujire near Dharmasthala towards preparing his body and mind for the future political battles. This decision has given rise to curious discussions in political circles.
