"Applying Kumkuma doesn't make anyone Hindu,” Cong slams CT Ravi on his remark on Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Congress hitting back at senior BJP Leader CT Ravi on Tuesday stated, “No one becomes Hindu by applying the kumkuma.” The BJP Leader taunting Chief Minister Siddharmaih had questioned, “Is Siddaramaiah who rejects kumkuma (a distinctive Hindu mark on the forehead) a Hindu?”
Taking to ‘X,’ the Congress in counter to the BJP leader stated, “no one will become a Hindu by applying kumkum. Some apply ‘kumkuma’, some use ‘Vibhuti’ (sacred ash), some use ‘Adda Nama’, some use ‘Udda Nama.’ It is left to an individual’s personal choice and they are independent to do so.”
