Aishwarya expresses happiness over recognition of four decades of service

Aishwarya, daughter of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, revealed that she did not speak to her father for two days after his release from jail. She said he did not return home immediately after coming out but went to meet party workers and supporters who had been waiting for him, to encourage and reassure them.

She recalled her father saying that thousands of supporters had travelled without proper food or footwear and waited for him, so he first went to greet them. Only after that moment did she speak with him, she said in a social media post that has now gone viral. Aishwarya also expressed happiness over the party leadership recognizing his four decades of service and giving him an opportunity as Chief Minister.
