‘Sorry Savarkar' tradition: Priyank Kharge slams BJP leaders over apologizing after remarks
Bengaluru: Karnataka’s IT, BT, and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday took a sharp dig at the BJP, accusing its leaders of continuing the tradition of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, by making controversial remarks and later retracting them with apologies.
“BJP, who speaks without consciousness, without connection between brain and tongue, is continuing in Savarkar's tradition of apologizing,” wrote Kharge in an ‘X’ post.
Kharge further pointed out that BJP leader Vijay Shah, who had referred to Sophia Qureshi as a “sister of terrorists,” later issued an apology. Similarly, BJP MLC N. Ravikumar, who made a controversial comment questioning whether Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Fouzia Tarannum was from Pakistan, also offered a public apology following backlash. In another instance, BJP leader Narayanaswamy, who allegedly referred to Kharge himself as a “dog,” expressed regret.
“They are surpassing him (Savarkar)! I have no doubt about it.,” he added.
