Bengaluru: Congress Karnataka Chief DK Shivakumar on Monday slammed BJP leader Eshwarappa for his remarks that his party will not hand tickets to Muslim candidates in the Belagavi Lok Sabha by-poll elections.
Shivakumar who was in Devanahalli on Monday to attend a party meeting advised Eshwarappa to go through India’s Constitution and to read what the constitution says.
Speaking to media reporters after his party’s meeting, Shivakumar said “That is what the BJP is all about. They don’t know what is written in the Constitution of India. They don’t know what the Constitution is and they don’t take pride in our constitution. They just want to burn the Constitution”.
“They should read the constitution and read what is mentioned in it” he noted while calling on the BJP to suspend the minority wing of the party.
Eshwarappa had recently courted controversy after he remarked that there was no question of his party fielding Muslim candidates in the Belagavi Lok Sabha by-poll elections.
