Throwing biscuit at relief camp: Revanna tendered apology
Bengaluru, August 21: After public outrage over throwing biscuit packs towards the distressed people at Ramanathapura flood victims relief camp in Hassan district, PWD Minister HD Revanna sought the apology of the people of the state on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha here, the Minister said that “I have neither done it purposefully nor I have such mentality. The women and children sitting far away from him at the room were seeking the biscuits. As I could not go there and give them the biscuits, I threw the biscuits at them. When the incident happened, all media people were there. But it was reported the next day because media people have love towards me. Why didn’t they make the news on the same day”, he asked.
“Not all distressed people in the relief camp are rich. Majority of them are poor. I have been visiting the flood affected areas and reviewing the relief works day and night. But I don’t know what happened. People have started campaign against me in social media”, he expressed his displeasure.
“I’m not the incharge of Kodagu district. But I am supporting them. Union Ministers have not responded to the problems of the people. At this moment, I have attended the people. Now, the BJP leaders have been making allegations against me and politicizing the issue. Let us do politics during election time. But it is not the right time for politics”, he said.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
