Mysuru: MLA Harshvardhan delivered a speech in favour of the BJP during the Valmiki Jayanti programme at Nanjanagudu. Consequently, people's representatives boycotted the programme and walked out.

The incident took place at the Valmiki Jayanti programme organised by the taluk administration on the premises of Sri Srikanteshwara Swamy temple here on Wednesday.

Representatives from all the parties were present on the dais during the Valmiki Jayanti programme. Varuna constituency MLA Dr. Yatindra Siddaramaiah spoke on the occasion. Then MLA Harshvardhan came to the podium and said "Ballary Tiger Sreeramulu, former Minister Srinivas Prasad and other BJP leaders have fought a lot to add the Talwar community in Nayak race. Therefore Nayaks must be supported. You all must understand this." When he said these words, former Minister Kalale Keshavamurthy, ZP member Lata Shetty, Taluk Panchayat Member Moogashetty, Valmiki Samaj Leader S.C Basavaraj and others who were sitting on the dais walked out of the programme.

Even people could not digest these words and they too started walking out. But, MLA Harshvardhan, without paying heed to this, continued his speech. Later, the organisers concluded the programme.

New Delhi: An Indian CEO has triggered widespread debate on social media after reportedly spending Rs 14 lakh on a Louis Vuitton suitcase designed for his dog. Ajay Thakore, CEO of Doctor Multimedia, shared a video on Instagram showcasing the extravagant purchase, which has since drawn mixed reactions.

In the video, Thakore is seen entering a Louis Vuitton store, stating, "I think my dog has something to pick up." He then reveals the "Bone Trunk," a bone-shaped, hard-shell suitcase complete with a varnished wooden tray and two bowls. The video’s caption read, "Aspen's always spending money like there's no tomorrow. $20k Louis Vuitton bone trunk."

The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing shock and disbelief. Some criticized the CEO’s indulgence, questioning the morality of spending such a large sum on a pet accessory when pressing issues like poverty and animal welfare exist. Comments ranged from disbelief to sharp criticism, with one user remarking, "Imagine how far $20k would go at an animal rescue." Others viewed it as a reflection of societal excess, calling it a "grotesque illustration of what's wrong in society."

However, Thakore also found support from some users, who defended his right to spend his wealth as he pleased. One commenter noted the irony of criticism coming from people who indulge in expensive gadgets, writing, "It's funny how many condemn this spending yet think nothing of buying an $800 iPhone without considering charity."
