I am BJP worker,concerned about Hindu society, country’s progress: K’taka Minister KS Eshwarappa
Shimoga: Minister for Rural Development K. S Eeshwarappa issued a statement saying, “I am a BJP worker, and I am concerned about the Hindu society and the country’s development. I have been fighting for the nation and society since before. Nobody can plant a picket and sit idly in politics. If the Ministerial post goes away, I will consider the picket to have come undone”, he said.
Addressing a press conference in Shimoga, he said, “When I became an MLA, the seniors themselves had given a ticket. When I became a minister of the department, I have listened to the party and the organization. I haven’t considered the Ministerial position in the least. I had resigned from the Central Silk Board to contest against Deve Gowda in Kanakapur. If the party has decided to prioritize youngsters in politics, I am ready to abide by their decision”, he said.
“Nalin Kumar has said that the audio does not belong to him. Some crazed individual has done this. Somebody has created that audio. Therefore, there is no need for an investigation regarding this. However, an investigation must be undertaken to find out who made the audio viral. I will fight for those who are living for the Hindu society and the nation”, he said.
