Dalits in Sigaranahalli village in Hassan district of Karnataka recall solidarity shown by CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury over temple entry ban
Thayamma, Padmamma, Raju, Lokesh, and many others of the village said they never anticipated that Yechury, a politician leading a national party, would visit their place, listen to their woes, and extend support. Even as local politicians, who represented them in Parliament and the State Assembly hardly visited their locality, Yechury met the villagers, despite opposition from friendly allies.
