CHENNAI: Keragodu village in Mandya, Karnataka found itself in a controversy over the alleged hoisting of a saffron-coloured Hanuman flag on a 108-foot flagpole in a government land.

Officials removed the flag and replaced it with the Tricolour, which sparked protests in the village. Many alleged the ruling Congress was anti-Hindu.

Mandal panchayat president of Keragodu village dismissed the claim of the religious flag being hoisted by the panchayat board. No religious flag was hoisted on the flagpole.
