Bengaluru: Senior BJP leader and Karnataka minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday stirred controversy as he termed the MLAs as ‘transgenders’ who win the elections on the base of Muslim votes.

Speaking at an event in the city organised by Sri Rama Sene to congratulated Central Government and PM Modi for abrogating Article 370 and 35A from Kashmir, Eshwarappa made the comments.

“Many Congress and JD(S) MLAs are willing to join BJP, but they are afraid they will lose the Muslim votes. They are Hijadas (transgenders) they don’t belong to BJP. Those backed by Pakistan will not vote for BJP” Eshwarappa said.

“Sri Rama Sene has become a factory that creates brave Hindutva soldiers. The agenda of Hindutva and Nationalism should be spread across the country. It is the fight to protect India. When it comes to Hindutva the whole country should stand united” he added.
