Kodagu training camp is the heights of communal politics: Dr L Hanumanthayya slams BJP
Bengaluru: Taking a dig at the recent trends in Karnataka BJP’s politics in the state, member of Rajya Sabha Dr L Hanumanthayya on Monday said that this is the “heights of communal politics.”
This came after the arms training camp organized by Bajrang Dal held in Kodagu.
Speaking to Varthabharathi, he said, “Previously, BJP has consigned Trishoola to the hands of youths in various other states. Today this trend is set in motion in Karnataka. All this has to do with the upcoming assembly elections in the state.”
"It is foolish that they think they can win elections with what they are doing now. It is also unfortunate that the State's Home Minister is turning a blind eye to all of this, we've never had a Home Minister like this." he added
He also pointed that the people in Karnataka will teach a lesson to the BJP for using communal politics as their shield to occupy power.

Malda (PTI): In less than a fortnight after a senior Trinamool Congress councillor was murdered in West Bengal's Malda district, a TMC worker was killed and two other party members were injured in a shootout incident in broad daylight in the same region on Tuesday, police said.
Like in the previous incident, police suspected that Tuesday's shootout was also a fallout of the party's infighting.

"We are questioning people and witnesses. So far, we have not arrested anyone in this matter," the police officer told PTI.
