Why Shivakumar’s home pick sparks a row as he opts out of ‘jinxed’ CM House
Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar plans to make the Kumara Krupa guest house his official residence, opting out of the traditionally designated CM residence, Anugraha, which is viewed as 'jinxed.' His decision has drawn criticism from the Janata Dal (Secular), which accuses him of altering a heritage building for personal convenience. Renovations are underway, guided by Vaastu experts, to accommodate his preferences and beliefs.
