Holenarasipur (DHNS): JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda and his wife Chennamma had a narrow escape in the stampede during the Brahmarathotsava of Lakshminarasimhaswamy temple in the town on Friday.
Deve Gowda, along with his family members, wife Chennamma, son H D Revanna and others, participated in the annual Brahmarathotsava.
Gowda expressed his wish to pull the chariot for a few feet. After performing puja to the procession deity, he tried to catch hold of the rope to pull the chariot.
As the 'nagari' (trumpet) was blown suddenly, the devotees, unaware of Gowda's presence, started pulling the chariot, which resulted in a stampede.
As the chariot began to move, the Gowda couple got confused. Revanna, who was nearby, acted swiftly and pushed them aside, saving them from the chariot running over them in a fraction of a second.
The police personnel's whistle to halt the chariot went unheard amid the chanting of the hymns by the devotees. Gowda and his wife were whisked aside by onlookers to prevent them from getting stuck in the crowd. They lauded Revanna for his presence of mind, which saved his parents from the possible stampede.
