Bengaluru: In a recent statement, Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao took aim at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), warning against the dangers within their ranks.

Gundurao's criticism comes in the wake of ongoing political tensions, with particular reference to the BJP's handling of the Hassan pen drive scandal. He accused the alliance of turning a blind eye to atrocities.

The minister questioned Prime Minister Modi's stance on women's welfare, pointing out discrepancies in addressing incidents of violence. He further spoke on the need for accountability, stating, "It is a tragedy that your party has sided with a villain who committed atrocities."
