Ideology-neutral alliance

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar's son, Prashanth, is tying the knot with Anchal, granddaughter of Shamanur Shivashankarappa, Karnataka minister for agriculture marketing. The significance of this alliance is that while Shamanur is from the Congress, Shettar is from the Bharatiya Janata Party, suggesting that political ideologies are only for public display.
