Don’t link my name with D.K. Shivakumar: MLA Lakshmi Hebbalkar
Bagalkote, October 22: “It is not fair to link my name with Minister D.K. Shivakumar repeatedly. He has fans across the state. I am one among them”, said KPCC Women Wing state president and MLA Lakshmi Hebbalkar.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, she said that “Municipal Administration Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi is a strong leader of Belagavi district. He insulted me as the dirt below his feet, showpiece and slum person. I won’t respond to anything. I don’t understand the intention behind linking my name with Minister D.K. Shivakumar. But my effort and religion would protect me. Rameshanna has helped me in my political career. But no one can break my political development”, she said.
“‘#MeToo’ campaign against sexual harassment on women is a good campaign. This shows that the women in the country are getting educated and aware of their rights. Shobha Karandlaje spoke about Siddaramaiah in agitation. A leader should not have acted like that during such situation”, she added.
