Former mayor Bangi Anantaiah on Monday got half of his head shaved to mark his protest against the decision to divide the state. Sitting at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi here, Anantaiah said that Sonia Gandhi had become the chairperson of UPA since she was the wife of Rajiv Gandhi though she had no political experience.

Lambasting the Congress leader Digvijay Singh, the former mayor said that the senior Congress leader, who could not get his party elected in Madhya Pradesh, had no right to propose the division of the State.

He vowed that he would continue with the half shaved head till the decision to divide the State was dropped. He warned that the Congress party would become zero if it went ahead with the division of the State.
