Congress leader B K Hariprasad has urged his party workers to refrain from spending money on garlands and shawls to honour him, and instead donate the amount to the party. Speaking to the media, Hariprasad said, “Many people are coming home with shawls and garlands to greet me. If you want to honour me, don’t spend money on shawls or flowers.” He emphasised that the funds saved from such expenditures should be contributed to the party's coffers. This appeal comes as part of a broader effort to promote financial discipline and ensure that resources are used for organisational strengthening. Hariprasad's statement has been widely appreciated by party members and supporters, who see it as a pragmatic move to cut unnecessary expenses. The Congress leader has been a prominent figure in Karnataka politics and has held various positions within the party. His call is expected to set a precedent for other leaders to follow, encouraging a culture of frugality and party loyalty.
