Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced on Tuesday that the 87th 'Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana' will be held in Mandya from December 20 to 22. The decision was reached following discussions with the Kannada Sahitya Parishat, Mandya district administration, and local officials, including District in-charge Minister N Cheluvarayaswamy and regional MLAs.
'We had originally planned for February, but postponed due to the impending Lok Sabha poll code of conduct. Now, we have settled on December 20 to 22. We anticipate participation from a significant number of Kannadigas from within and outside the country,' Siddaramaiah stated.
The government pledged full support to the district administration and Sahitya Parishat for organizing the event.
