District in-charge minister Katta Subramanya Naidu has no idea whether the stateu00a0 government has funded Bangalore Habba but he's planning a Kempegowda Utsava a la the Hampi Utsava.
There was controversy over the government funding Bangalore Habba last year but the government later withdrew since the fest was a private initiative.
The Habba, to be held in December last year, was postponed because of the Mumbai attacks and the security concerns it brought in its wake.
Another fest
Katta plans to start a new cultural fest called the Kempegowda Utsava.u00a0
"Talks are on and details are yet to be chalked out. It will be on the lines of Hampi Utsava and will be very grand. We plan to start the festival next year. Since Kempegowda is the founder of Bangalore, we will name it after him," Katta Subramanya Naidu said.
