BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal said on Wednesday that former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah lost the Assembly election because he entered a temple after eating meat. Similarly AICC president Rahul Gandhi will lose elections because “he has gone to Mansarovar lake and consumed chicken soup.”
Mr. Yatnal told presspersons here on Wednesday that the defeat is the result of “disrespecting Hindu sentiments.”
Taking exception to observing Gouri day to mark the death anniversary of journalist Gauri Lankesh, he wanted to know why no such event was held when several RSS activists were killed in Kerala by Communists.
Defending the arrest of several activists across the nation on charge of plotting a conspiracy to kill Prime Minster Narendra Modi, Mr. Yatnal wondered why the killers of Rajiv Gandhi are called ‘murderers’ and people who planned to kill Mr. Modi are termed ‘activists.’ Stating that Mr. Modi has given a ‘terror-free government’ with no major terrorist activity taking place in the country, he said that no bomb blast took place in India in the last 4 years. “Don't judge acche din on the bases of only prices of petrol and diesel, no major terror act in the country is also part of acche din ” he said.
