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.
