K'taka: Savarkar's portrait installed at Hindalga prison in presence of Education Minister BC Nagesh
Belagavi: A portrait was installed inside the Hindalga jail in Belagavi on Thursday in the presence of Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh.
The move comes in the wake of demands from the right-wing Hindutva groups to install a portrait in the jail as they claimed the RSS ideologue was lodged in the Hindalga prison for 99 adys.
Savarkar was housed in the prison between April 4 to 13 July 1950.
A video showed Education Minister BC Nagesh taking part in the event when the portrait was installed inside the premises of jail. The video also showed a group of men garlanding the photo of Savarkar, showering flowers, and raising slogans.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
