Ananth Kumar Hegde is unfit to become even GP member: MB Patil
Mangaluru, Jan 28: Home Minister MB Patil said that Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde who has become the Lok Sabha Member and the Union Minister with the help of Constitutional right, was unfit to become even a gram panchayat member.
Speaking to reporters after holding a meeting of higher officers of the police department at the City Police Commissioner’s office here on Monday, the Home Minister said that Ananth Kumar Hegde issuing derogatory statements was not a new phenomenon. Whenever the election approaches, he used to issue such statements. Ananth Kumar Hegde who had said that he was there to change the Constitution, had forgotten that he had become the Lok Sabha Member and the Union Minister with the help of the same Constitution given by Dr. BR Ambedkar, he said.
Beautiful Mangaluru
There was a notation that Mangaluru was communal riots-hit city. But due to the continuous efforts of the police officers, the city has been returning to its earlier grandeur and becoming beautiful. He has directed the police officers to keep a special vigil on drug peddling which has been taking toll of youth in the city, he said.
Kumaraswamy will remain CM for five years
Earlier, Siddaramaiah had given the best administration for five years. Even then, the voters voted against him. But some people wanted Siddaramaiah to become the CM again. It was not wrong. In order to keep BJP out of power, the Congress in the state joined hands with the JDS to form coalition government as per the direction of the party high command.
At this time, it was common that there were some confusion and they would be cleared in the course of time. The government would complete five years and HD Kumaraswamy would remain as the Chief Minister for the entire term, he clarified.
