Religion versus politics
Raichur
There will be a change in the state in the next election. No guarantee is needed, the only guarantee required is Sanatan Dharma, MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal thundered once again.
Speaking at a programme organised by the Hindu Mahasabha in the city on the occasion of Ganesh Nimajjan, he said, the next election should be held on the sole guarantee that Sanatan Hindu Dharma should remain. The youth gathered here are the proof that Sanatan Hindu Dharma has stood up against oppression and atrocities.
I have not done anything magical. I have not eaten at a dhaba, I have not even filled petrol on my bikes. I am roaming around the stage. Development needs to happen along with Hindutva. We should not wander anywhere for permission for the Ganapati festival. Such a government should come. The officials should come to where you are, the MLA said.
When I shouted at those who said Pakistan Zindabad, Speaker UT Khader stood by me in the House. He said, scold Pakistan as much as you want. But one of our Hindu MLAs said, don’t shout like that. Some of our Hindus are like that, he said.
There is no one speaking in the assembly for Hindus. There is no license to play DJs, no matter how much the others shout, there is no problem. We are also facing problems five times a day. BJP, Bajrang Dal, VHP are not strong in Maddur. The youth have risen up. There is no situation where Hindus can live with self-respect. Enough of the father-son drama company. Hindus should be protected, Yatnal indirectly lashed out at the BS Yediyurappa family.
