FIR against BJP MLA over provocative speech
Bengaluru: An FIR was filed against a BJP MLA on Friday for delivering a provocative speech in Belagavi.
Sanjay Patil had courted controversy after saying the polls are “not about roads and drinking water but about Hindu-Muslim incidents”.
“This election is not about roads, water or other issues. This election is about Hindus vs Muslims, Ram Mandir vs Babri Masjid.”
“Keeping a hand on my chest I say loudly, this is Bharat, this is the country of Hindus, and this is the country where (Lord) Ram was born. We are prepared to do anything to construct Ram mandir in Ayodhya,” he reportedly added.
A video of his remarks subsequently went viral on social media and evoked criticism from many quarters.
Patil is playing Hindutva card. He is not speaking about the developments because in last 10 years he did not take up any developmental works in his constituency, Laxmi Hebbalkar, Congress candidate, said.
