Ballari, Jan 21: BJP leader and Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Anantkumar Hegde, who is known for making provocative and controversial statements, was at it again in Ballari on Saturday.
Soon after his arrival in the district, a group of Dalit activists blocked his vehicle and shouted slogans against him for his statement about changing the Constitution. They accused him of being anti-Dalit.
Later, speaking at a job fair and skill exhibition, he said: “We will go ahead with our commitment and not bother about barking stray dogs,” he said.
The reference to stray dogs, coming soon after the protests against him, sparked off anger among Dalit groups. After the programme, they staged a demonstration and, waving black scarves, shouted slogans against Mr. Hegde. Some persons were taken into custody by the police when they tried to block the Minister’s convoy.
The Minister did not step out of his vehicle amid the commotion even as BJP MP Sriramulu came out and attempted to pacify the protesters.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
