"What sort of Hindutva is your's ?": Deve Gowda's poser to BJP
Bengaluru: "The main principle of Hindutva is tolerance. What sort of Hindutva are you pursuing if you cannot tolerate another religion?." This was how the JD(S) supremo and former PM H D Devegowda chose to question the BJP leaders.
Speaking to reporters on Monday after welcoming former BJP man and ex-minister Anand Asnotikar to the JD(S), Devegowda further questioned if the murders that took place in the coastal district recently are reflective of Hindutva.
"What the Shringeri Sharada Peetha seer of Chikkamagaluru is practising is true Hindutva. We too have faith in all Gods and also all religions," said Devegowda.
Yaga for welfare of mankind : Devegowda clarified on the occasion that the Shatarudrayaga that he performed at Shringeri recently was not to eliminate enemies but for welfare of mankind.
We do not need Siddaramaiah support : Gowa exuded confidence that his party would win four to five seats in Uttara Kannada district. "JD(S) is not a father-son party, the claim is applicable to the Congress," he said.
