Karnataka Govt should not allow the shop to open in front on statue of Mahatma Gandhi. Its a shame to all indians except anti nationals. It gives rise to doubt that some of the BBMC members are bribed by the company to obtain licence. This issue is requried to be enuired and culprits to be punished.
