Soon after the arrest of Hegde, BJP hashtag #IStandWithMaheshHegde was trending on twitter.
According to the reports, Hegde was arrested following a complaint by Karnataka Home Minister M B Patil at Adarsh Nagar Police Station in Vijayapura, in connection with a fake letter pertaining to Lingayat issue. The fake letter had originally surfaced during 2018 assembly election and went viral again right ahead of the second phase election in Karnataka on April 23.
BJP state general secretary CT Ravi also defended Hegde and tweeted that the ‘unholy alliance government’ is playing ‘Neech politics’.
Dakshina Kannada BJP Unit also jumped into to support Hegde and condemned the arrest on twitter.
Intolerance level of CoJa Govt in Karnataka has reached new heights.
