Shivamogga: Former Minister Araga Jnanendra makes controversial statement on Kharge's complexion
Shivamogga: Former Minister Araga Jnanendra made a controversial statement on AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge's complexion, during a protest held in Theerthahalli town on Tuesday against the implementation of the Kasturirangan Report.
Addressing the protesters, Jnanendra, who had lashed out at Forest Minister Ishwar Khandre and Kharge, said, “We are unfortunate to have a local representative as Forest Minister, since we have a minister bereft of forests. He knows nothing about trees and plants or the shades of trees, as the greenery seems burnt. Take a look at Kharge and you will realize this. He has survived with barely a few strands of hair on his head.”
Speaking about the Kasturirangan Report, the former minister said that implementation of the report will give rise to problems. “If the original inhabitants were deprived of the forests, the Sahyadri forest range would not have survived. An unscientific survey was conducted from Delhi, merely using satellite images. People are already suffering from many such laws. If the Kasthurirangan report is implemented, the problem will worsen”, he said.
