Belagavi, Apr 19: Sparking a row, a Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sanjay Patil said that the upcoming Karnataka assembly election is "not about roads and drinking water but about Hindu-Muslim incidents".

Sanjay Patil represents the Belagavi Rural constituency in north Karnataka, which is near the state’s border with Maharashtra. 

Addressing a gathering in Karnataka's Belagavi, Patil said, "This election is not about roads, water or other issues.This election is about Hindus vs Muslims, Ram Mandir vs Babri Masjid. A video of  his provocative comments is in wide circulation on social media.

He continued his speech and said, "I am Sanjay Patil, I am Hindu, this is a Hindu Rashtra (nation) and we intend to build Ram temple."

He further added, "Whereas Lakshmi Hebbalikar (Congress candidate) wants to build Babri Masjid. Whoever wants Babri Masjid, Tippu Jayanthi they should vote Congress. And who wants Shivaji Maharaj and Ram Mandir should vote for BJP."

This is not the first time one of his videos has caused a flutter. In another clip in 2017, Sanjay Patil is heard shouting and threatening a police officer who was trying to maintain order during a motorcycle rally.

Karnataka will go to polls on May 12 to elect its representatives for the 225-member assembly. The results will be out on May 15.

Your agenda in all election is " We will build Ram Mandir" if we elected to assembly. Now Central is with BJP hand, UP is with BJP hand then what is the issue? Why again and again saying we will build Ram Mandir - Ram Mandir every now and then.  Road is free and why dont you take steps to build the temple and finish the issue? 

Dear Non Muslim brothers and sisters, believe it or not - These so called politicians will never build Ram Mandir or whatsoever. This is the main Muddah for their election campain. Actually we the voters are fool and fighting each other (Hindu & Muslim), killing , looting innocents etc etc. - Finally who will benefit?  These politicians and who is the looser - WE

Dear All - Please think about the development of our state, country and cast your valuable vote to the right candidate who may contribute to the development of our state/country.  In this era Mandir-Masjid is not the issue - Issue is development, education, job, food etc etc.

The problem is BALATKARI JANWAR PATRY (BJP), Modi and Amit shah style of running the government on Hitler style has already filled the gandu rashtra people with poison in their brains to send Muslims out of India.  This is the real problem.  Gandus want their gandu rashtra at any cost now. Arab Muslims ruled India for 900 years and enriched the country with coffee,  silk etc. Then British came and looted the country.  Then these BJP and RSS are gifted with the divide and rule formula from British.  They are now just following the same old formula to eat up whatever is left in the country.  All this making hindu rashtra etc is a drama.

Comparing to Japan and other countries India is quite behind, because their aim is development, whereas our aim is Mandir/Masjid and religion.  If India continues the same theory, India will never develop.  These politicians are taking India on wrong direction.

Tippu is dead , shivaji also is dead. Why not worry about  poor people like us who are still alive?  We have enough masjid to pray , Allah will accept our prayers from any masjid, plz dont worry about that. Kindly finish the ram mandir as soon as possible. After all this done, kindly focus on jobs, roads, farmers, water, food, social services etc. i hope this is very simple english so u and your like minded friends can understand.  

Thanks

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Alarmed by the surging COVID-19 cases across the state, especially in Bengaluru, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday urged the state capital’s residents not to visit their villages to prevent the infection’s spread.

“I urge the people of Bengaluru not to travel to their villages and prevent the infection from spreading in rural areas,” Yediurappa told reporters.

“Combating the pandemic through preventive measures, providing treatment to the infected and saving lives are our priority,” he said.

With a record 2,228 positive cases on Thursday, the southern state’s COVID-19 tally shot up to 31,105, including 17,782 active cases, while 457 people have died of the infection till date, 17 just in the last 24 hours.

Of the new cases in the state, Bengaluru accounted for 1,373, taking its tally to 13,882, including 10,870 active, while 177 have succumbed to the virus since March 9.

No deaths were, however, reported in the city on Thursday.

Of the 457 patients in intensive care units (ICU) across the state, 292 are in Bengaluru hospitals.

Since unlock began on June 1, COVID-19 cases shot up to 15,242 on June 30 from 3,221 on May 31 and to 31,105 in 9 days since July 1.

Similarly, in Bengaluru, positive cases shot up to 4,555 on June 30 from 358 on May 31 and rose to 13,882 in 9 days since July 1.

The Chief Minister also appealed to all legislators of the ruling and opposition parties to give priority to contain the disease in their Assembly segments.

“Visit the COVID-19 designated hospitals and inspect if the required facilities are in place and bring any shortcomings to our notice,” the CM said

“We have 1,120 beds to treat COVID-19 positive cases in the district. Even after including these 150 persons, we still have 800 beds left. Hence, people need not panic. We will provide treatment for all affected persons,” Mr. Jagadeesha said.
