As per my opinion, this is not correct to keep healthy relation with local public.

I agree with Mr. Louis D'Souza. Leaders of other religions did not felicitate Mr.Bhandary nor they went to his office. Mr. Bhandary visits temples to seek blessings; while in Udupi Mr. Bhat and Mr. Acharya visited churches in a gesture to boost minorities' confidence.
