Central Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde is again in the eye of a controversy
In criticising Rahul Gandhi he inadvertently made uncharitable comments on Gomateshwara.
Belagavi, April.29: "AICC President Rahul Gandhi should also visit Shravanabelegola" Central Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde sarcastically said. On Sunday while making an election speech in support of a BJP candidate, he said that Rahul Gandhi has now realized that there is Hindu religion in this country, hence he is visiting Mutts and temples.
By using singular usage, he said that , Rahul wore saffron because some one told him so, he wore rudrakshi when he went to Mutt,to Mosque he wore bird feather, to Church he went wearing Cross. He does not know how to take holy water in a temple. He continued saying that Rahul should similarly go to Shravanabelagola, thereby suggesting that he should go naked.
He said that, BJP will never compromise on religion. But congress has no faith in religion, they just pretend, they go to temples as the need arises. This drama company has ruled the country for the last 70 years. Country should get rid of this drama company. Development is impossible as long Congress is in existence. Looting the country and insulting a religion is the job of Congress.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases. Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
