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.
