Burka-turban-clad people need not come to my office: BJP MLA Yatnal
Viral Video
Vijayapura, June 7: BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal triggered a controversy saying that burka and turban-clad people need not come to his office as he has got votes only from Hindus and he would work for them.
His statement made in a private programme recently has gone viral in social media triggering widespread resentment among people. “I have taken an oath not to see the Muslims till the election process is completed. Moreover, I have clearly said that I would not require the votes of Muslims.
The Hindus who have been supporting the Muslims might have born to them. They thought that I would bite the dust in the election”, he said.
He has asked even the city corporation members not to do any works for the Muslims. If the Muslims torture Hindu women and businessmen, action would be taken against them. He had informed the Hindus thatthey would not have a future if he was not elected. So, they have elected him, he claimed.
Statement is not acceptable
It is inhuman to say that burka and turban-clad people should not come to his office. It is proved from the statement of Yatnal that BJP is anti-Muslim. Such statements igniting hatred among religions are condemnable.

‘I’m committed to my statement’
“Is it wrong to speak about Hindus in the country? I have cleared before the election that I would not require Muslim votes. I am committed to my statement even now. It is true that I have spoken about this during Shivaji Maharaj programme. You are questioning me for speaking about Hindu religion. Go and ask Asaduddin Owaisi instead of asking me”.

Devendra Fadnavis plays video of Islamic scholar at Pune rally, harps on 'vote jihad'
Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.
It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.
"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.
"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
