Bengaluru, Jan 10: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said on Friday that the 'homa' (a Hindu fire ritual) performed at a Tamil Nadu temple was for his protection and peace of mind.
Speaking to reporters after offering prayers at a temple on the occasion of Vaikunta Ekadasi, he said, "I pray to God every day for good tidings. I also pray to God to protect me from those who wish me ill. There is nothing secretive about it."
Taking a dig at the reporters, Shivakumar added, "You (media) also keep giving me quite a bit of trouble and create newer and newer news. I also prayed for protection from the media."
