‘CM Siddaramaiah is like begger, ghost and Ravana’
Another controversial statement from Minister Hegde
Belagavi, May 4: Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde stirred another controversy by terming Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as a begger, ghost and Ravana.
While campaigning in favour of party candidate at Sampagavi in Bylahongala taluk in the district on Friday, Hegde said that normally nobody would reside in the ghost house. So, all senior Congress leaders are leaving that party and coming to the BJP. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is like a begger, ghost and Ravana. Prime Minister Modi’s programmes were not reached this village because of the administration of Ravana in Karantaka, he said.
Siddaramaiah had issued a notification to take over some temples and mutts and thus targeted a community. Why he doesn’t show the courage of taking over the churches and masjids, he asked.
The Congress which has ruled the country for seventy years does not have the power to stay here. If it has the morality and concerns towards the country, let its leaders apply paint on the faces declaring that they would not lie in future, he said.
Besides dividing the religions, Siddaramaiah is devastating the country as well. Due to which, there is no unity. If all others are united, people like Siddaramaiah would not stay here, he said.

BJP using women's quota bill as front to pass Delimitation Bill that will break India: Mamata
Cooch Behar (WB) (PTI): Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday alleged the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was using the proposed amendment to the women's quota law in Parliament as a front for the Delimitation Bill that would "break the country into pieces".
The TMC will fight this Central government's move at every step, she asserted at her party's poll rally here.
The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill to tweak the women's quota law, along with the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, to implement the proposed amended women's quota law, in the Union territories of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir, were introduced in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
According to the Constitution amendment bill, Lok Sabha seats will be increased to a maximum of 850 from the current 543 to "operationalise" the women's reservation law before the 2029 parliamentary polls, following a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census.
Seats will also be increased in state and Union territory assemblies to accommodate 33 per cent reservation for women.
Opposing the Centre's move, Banerjee alleged that "the BJP brought the Delimitation Bill while keeping the women's reservation bill at the front".
"The BJP is trying to increase the number of seats in the Lok Sabha to nearly 850 through the Delimitation Bill. It will break the country into pieces," the TMC supremo said.
She also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not speaking the truth about the development of north Bengal at a BJP rally last week.
"The prime minister said nothing was done for the development of north Bengal. But we spent Rs 1.72 lakh crore on the development of the region," Banerjee said and asked Modi to cross-check data before making such remarks.
