Mangaluru, Apr 11: The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, D K Shivakumar on Monday, April 11 said the politics of polarisation will perish soon in Karnataka state.

Speaking to daijiworld.com at the Mangaluru International Airport here over rising incidents of violence amidst rising politics of polarisation, he said everything will die by itself. “If common man's livelihood is affected and pain is caused to people, nothing will remain permanent,” he said.

Referring indirectly to the rising communal divide in the state without naming the ruling BJP government in the state, Shivakumar said nothing will remain permanent while reiterating that politics of polarisation will die soon.

To a query on why the Congress was not protesting against the rising prices of fuel and other essential commodities, the KPCC chief said,” Congress is holding protests and even today we staged a protest against the same." However, he made it clear that the Congress party will fight much more vigourously against these issues daily in the coming days.

Shivakumar was on a visit here to take part in Shri Kshetra Uchila Shri Mahalakshmi Temple's punarprathishte, bramhakalashostava, punyostava, rathostava and nagamandalostava.

Earlier, he was accorded a welcome by the Congress party workers.
