Anti-cow slaughter bill in K'taka was drawn to satisfy the BJP’s “bosses in Nagpur": Priyank Kharge
Says any rule brought in by BJP can go if found to be regressive
Bengaluru: The previous Bommai’s government’s anti-cow slaughter bill in the state hinders social progress along with causing humongous financial burdens, said Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge in an interview with NDTV on Tuesday.
He mentioned that any regressive policy by the Bharatiya Janata Party, and not only the ones regarding cow slaughter or hijab, has a possibility to be repealed after reviewing if it hinders the state’s economic and social development.
Kharge, Minister for Rural Development and Panchyat Raj (RDPR), opined that the anti-cow slaughter bill neither made the farmers nor the industry happy. Instead, it was drawn to satisfy the BJP’s “bosses in Nagpur,” he added.
When questioned about the possible political repercussions of this, he stated that their party has received a huge mandate to keep the state on the line of progress. He added that the focus of Congress government is “not politics, just economics”.
