BBMP Employees’ Union secretary Mayanna was suspended on the recommendation of Mayor Manjunath Reddy here on Monday.
The action was taken after Mr. Mayanna joined the agitation by Kannada organisations to oppose the BBMP’s decision to set up a multilingual call centre.
The agitation, this past week led by Narayan Gowda, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV), and other Kannada organisations, approached the Mayor and demanded that the decision be revoked. The Mayor objected to the tone and tenor of Mr. Mayanna’s speech.
