Davangere: Karnataka BJP MLA Renukacharya on Tuesday lashed out people of the state who attended the congregation at Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi and added that the state wouldn’t have been facing crisis if these people had reported to the hospital earlier, after returning from Delhi.
The MLA further stroked controversy when he endorsed shooting people who have returned from Markaz Nizamuddin and refuses treatment. He added that it was not wrong to shoot them down. He was speaking to reporters in Davangere when he gave the statement.
He also added that spreading coronavirus was an act of terrorism in itself adding that those doing it were anti-nationals.
