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.

"The IndiGo fiasco is the direct result of the govt's monopoly model. And as always, it is ordinary Indians who are paying the price," he said.
Shivakumar said that the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, which is India's 3rd busiest airport with nearly 40 million travellers a year, is in complete chaos.
"This is hurting families, businesses and our national reputation. I urge the Union Government to act immediately and bring this situation under control. Our people deserve better," he added.
Domestic carrier IndiGo cancelled over 800 flights on Saturday, the fifth day of the ongoing crisis, even as the government imposed a cap on airfares and directed the airline to process all refunds by Sunday evening.
