Bengaluru, Jan 23: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not attending the last rites of Shri Shivakumar Swamiji of Siddhaganga Mutt on Tuesday.

"Prime Minister Modi attends weddings of celebrities, meets film stars, but did not attend the funeral of the walking god who dedicated his life for the welfare of poor and oppressed. He is not heeding the people's requests to confer Bharat Ratna on the Swamiji. He (prime minister) really deserves the Kotler award," Parameshwar took a jibe at PM Modi.
