Vijayapura, July 08: Former minister and JDS leader SK Bellubbi challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leaders to face the Lok Sabha election after laying foundation stone for the construction of Rama Mandir if they have the guts.

Addressing the party workers here on Sunday, Bellubbi said that the BJP leaders had made innocent youth scapegoats during the demolition of Babri Masjid. Even then, they have been doing politics in the name of Rama Mandir.

BJP leaders have thought that even a donkey would win the election if it was fielded in the election in the name of Modi. But they have sold the tickets. He would contest the Lok Sabha election if he was given the JDS ticket from Bagalkot constituency. This time, the JDS would defeat the BJP MP, he predicted.

Pune, Nov 7: A day after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reiterated his slogan "batenge to katenge" at a poll rally in Maharashtra, BJP ally and NCP chief Ajit Pawar on Thursday said the people of the state do not appreciate such remarks.

People of Maharashtra have always strived to maintain communal harmony, said Pawar, a deputy Chief Minister.

"Maharashtra belongs to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj and Mahatma Phule. You do not compare Maharashtra with other states, Maharashtra's people do not like this," Pawar told reporters here when asked about Adityanath's remarks.

Shivaji Maharaj's teaching was to take all sections of society along, he said.

"When people from other states come here, they speak keeping their people in mind, but Maharashtra has never accepted it and it has been the history of all the elections here," the NCP chief further said.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Washim in eastern Maharashtra for the November 20 assembly elections, Adityanath used his famous slogan .

"I am taking inspiration from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and appealing you to not get divided, because whenever we get divided, we perish," he said.
