In Kalaburagi, Karnataka, a proposal to install statues of former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi has sparked significant backlash from various organizations. Leaders such as M.S. Patil Naribol and Shravan Kumar Nayak have voiced concerns over the lack of necessary no-objection certificates (NOCs) for the installation, suggesting that the process appears to be clandestine. Critics argue that the focus on the Nehru-Gandhi family neglects other influential national figures. They propose that if statues are to be erected, leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri, known for his slogan 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,' and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, celebrated for his contributions to science and education, should also be honored. Additionally, they recommend including regional leaders and former Chief Ministers from Kalaburagi in the memorials. The opposition warns that moving forward with the current plan will lead to intensified protests against perceived favoritism towards a single political family.
