KARNATAKA, Jan 30 (TIWN): The farmer from Tumakuru district in Karnataka, who shot to fame for arranging Rs 10 lakh in 30 minutes after being insulted by staff of Mahindra showroom, said that he protested against the treatment meted out to him with an intention to prevent any such experience to others.

Kempe Gowda was insulted by Mahindra showroon staff after the latter told the former that despite not having Rs 10 in pocket, he had come to the showroom to purchase a vehicle.  After Gowda expressed his happiness over the turn of events, business tycoon and Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra, himself reacted and the company apologised for the incident. 

The staff of the Mahindra Group visited the house of the farmer apologising for the incident and invited him to buy the Bolero Pick-up goods vehicle.  “The showroom staff had come to my house and apologised. They invited me to buy the vehicle. I happily got the vehicle delivered. I paid Rs 9.4 lakh. They didn’t give any concession and I also didn’t ask for a discount,” he said.  “No one should be looked down upon or judged by the clothes they wear,” he added.
