Central Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde is again in the eye of a controversy
In criticising Rahul Gandhi he inadvertently made uncharitable comments on Gomateshwara.
Belagavi, April.29: "AICC President Rahul Gandhi should also visit Shravanabelegola" Central Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde sarcastically said. On Sunday while making an election speech in support of a BJP candidate, he said that Rahul Gandhi has now realized that there is Hindu religion in this country, hence he is visiting Mutts and temples.
By using singular usage, he said that , Rahul wore saffron because some one told him so, he wore rudrakshi when he went to Mutt,to Mosque he wore bird feather, to Church he went wearing Cross. He does not know how to take holy water in a temple. He continued saying that Rahul should similarly go to Shravanabelagola, thereby suggesting that he should go naked.
He said that, BJP will never compromise on religion. But congress has no faith in religion, they just pretend, they go to temples as the need arises. This drama company has ruled the country for the last 70 years. Country should get rid of this drama company. Development is impossible as long Congress is in existence. Looting the country and insulting a religion is the job of Congress.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
