The Hindu reports a dispute over a statue of Siddaramaiah at Vittal Heroor Circle. The supplied material does not explain the nature of the disagreement, identify those involved or state whether authorities have taken any action regarding the statue.

A dispute has arisen over a statue of Siddaramaiah at Vittal Heroor Circle, according to The Hindu. The supplied material does not explain what prompted the disagreement or identify the people, organisations or authorities involved. It also does not state whether the dispute concerns the statue’s installation, location, design or another issue.

No details are provided about when the statue was erected or where Vittal Heroor Circle is located. The report does not include comments from Siddaramaiah, local residents, political groups or government officials. It is also unclear from the available information whether the statue remains at the circle, whether any protest or administrative action has taken place, or whether a resolution has been proposed.

The available source therefore confirms a reported row involving the statue but provides no further account of its cause or development.
