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policy by the Bharatiya Janata Party, and not only the ones regarding cow slaughter or hijab, has a possibility to be repealed after reviewing if it hinders the state’s economic and social development.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”.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
